Start slideshows on last viewed item

Issue Summary

I would like to be able to return users to the same item in a slideshow that they were viewing when they last exited the same slideshow. Specifically I have several imagefields which rotate in a slideshow of postcard size images, each linked to its original node which then displays more information about title, date, author etc. I would like to be able to then return to the slideshow at the point at which I left, viewing the same image, then fading into the next and so on.

Presumably there is a 'counter' variable in the code which would need to be replaced and stored in memory on a per-user, per-session, per-slideshow basis and then called automatically. I'm no expert at PHP but if someone could point me in the right direction I might have a go at writing a custom function for this.

Fantastic module by the way - thanks.

This would probably be best done with a cookie instead of sessions. Maybe good for a future release.

Bumping to 2.x It would have to be done with cookies. Interesting idea

Forgot to implement the slide days setting. Also checked to make sure slide days was numeric.
