Hello Alex ,
 
  Have seen my Deluxe Slide Show3.

http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&win=on&lnx=on&gen=on&keywords=deluxe+slideshow3

It does everything you suggested above except 90 degree rotation.

Seen all file forms jpg, .gif, .bmp, .ico, .png, tif, .tiff, .wmf, .emf  are

converted to .bmp files before final showing, rotation should be easy using

win32dib.ew. I'll lookinto add that feature if you like.

By the way what is GD?

I haven't found any delay using up to 300 files.
