Hello all.

I'm trying this module and I must say I find it great. Understanding the setup was a little difficult but it was worth it. Thanks a lot for developing it.

One thing bothers me though : the images which compose the slideshow get reloaded each time the page is accessed.

I don't think my particular setup is causing this, but I can't be sure. I'm investigating to find a way to avoid this. My guess is that it has to do with http headers but it's only speculation. As I'm new to Drupal, I don't think I'll find a solution anytime soon.

You can test it on a fresh drupal setup here.

Hope this report will help you enhancing that already great piece of code.

It seems that it's perhaps not an issue with this module, but something about the pictures' path.

Web paths like <img src="http://something/picture.jpg" don't cache the images, but filesystem paths like <img src="/files/images/picture.jpg"> do.

I'm still investigating on this.

Now I'm sure : web paths are WAY slower than filesystem ones.

But I can't figure out how to force the view to use filesystem paths, as for now.
