Option to not pause on hover

I've just removed all titles from imgs so nothing pops up when hovering over a slideshow image, but the slideshow still pauses on hover. I guess its a feature or is it something to do with the thumbnail hover mode? It would be useful to switch pause on hover on or off.

I discovered the hover effect is implemented in a theme function theme_views_slideshow_div_js. I've overridden the function so as to add a check to see whether the slideshow is in thumbnail hover mode, in which case the hover js is added, otherwise it isn't. This provides the effect I was looking for and I've posted my code to be placed in template.php for anyone else who might find it useful:

function phptemplate_views_slideshow_div_js($view, $nodes, $type, $items, $div) {
	$mode = isset($view->slideshow['mode']) ? $view->slideshow['mode'] : variable_get('views_slideshow_default_mode', VIEWS_SLIDESHOW_DEFAULT_MODE);
  $divs = '"' . implode('", "', array_keys($items)) . '"';
  $num_divs = sizeof($items);
  $timer_delay = isset($view->slideshow['timer_delay']) ? $view->slideshow['timer_delay'] : variable_get('views_slideshow_default_timer_delay', VIEWS_SLIDESHOW_DEFAULT_TIMER_DELAY);
  $sort = isset($view->slideshow['sort_order']) ? $view->slideshow['sort_order'] : variable_get('views_slideshow_default_sort_order', VIEWS_SLIDESHOW_DEFAULT_SORT_ORDER);
  $fade = isset($view->slideshow['fade']) ? $view->slideshow['fade'] : variable_get('views_slideshow_default_fade', VIEWS_SLIDESHOW_DEFAULT_FADE);
  $fade = $fade ? 'true' : 'false';
  $fade_speed = isset($view->slideshow['fade_speed']) ? $view->slideshow['fade_speed'] : variable_get('views_slideshow_default_fade_speed', VIEWS_SLIDESHOW_DEFAULT_FADE_SPEED);
  $fade_value = isset($view->slideshow['fade_value']) ? $view->slideshow['fade_value'] : variable_get('views_slideshow_default_fade_value', VIEWS_SLIDESHOW_DEFAULT_FADE_VALUE);
  $hover = (module_invoke('jq', 'add', 'hoverIntent')) ? 'hoverIntent' : 'hover';
  $js = '
// set the timer data for a view slideshow
$(document).ready(function() {
  // these are the divs containing the elements to be displayed in the main div in rotation or mouseover
  slideshow_data["' . $div . '"] = new views_slideshow_data(' . $num_divs . ', ' . $timer_delay . ', ' . $sort . ', ' . $fade . ', "' . $fade_speed . '", ' . $fade_value . ');

  // this turns on the timer
  views_slideshow_timer("' . $div . '", true);

  // this sets up the mouseover & mouseout to pause on the main element but only for thumbnail hover mode
	';
  if ($mode == VIEWS_SLIDESHOW_MODE_THUMBNAIL_HOVER) {
  $js .= '
	$("#views_slideshow_main_' . $div . '").' . $hover . '(
    function() {
      views_slideshow_pause("' . $div . '");
    },
    function() {
      views_slideshow_resume("' . $div . '");
    });';
	};
	$js .= ' }); ';
  return $js;
}

Thanks again for this awesome module.
