How do you enable slideshows with Photozoom collections?
I've been playing with the Seadragon mobile application. It is amazing. I've created some content using both the Photozoom website and the Deep Zoom composer, deploying to a local web server. In either case, I don't see a "Play" button to start a slideshow when I view my photos using the Seadragon mobile app. A Play button is available for some of the other examples (e.g. Asia Vacation). How do you enable the slideshow function for Photozoom or Deep Zoom or RSS Feed sources?
Thanks

Inappropriate?This is something that still isn't quite right yet, as PhotoZoom always publishes layout information even if the layout is the default. When Seadragon Mobile sees a collection with layout it disables slideshow, animations, and other dynamic things with the thought that if someone had taken the time to lay the images out in a pattern (like items placed on top of a map, etc) it wouldn't make sense to do those things.
I thought I had a hack in there that disabled loading of layout from PhotoZoom. Maybe it got switched back. Go to your your iPhone/iPod home screen -> Settings -> Seadragon and make sure 'Ignore Layout' is ON. Relaunch the app and you should see the Play button.
Hrm - thinking, this setting may only work if you added the PhotoZoom collection through the special PhotoZoom add entry, which is disabled in the build currently released. If so, you'll have to wait (hopefully not long) for an update I'm going to release that adds this easy way to add PhotoZoom content.

No need to apologize. I'm happy to wait for the update. I turned on "Ignore Layout" option and it doesn't help.
I'm exporting from Deep Zoom Composer using the "Images" and "Export as Collection" options. Does this include the layout information as well? If so, there a way to modify the associated xml files so that there is no layout information?
What tool was used to build the "Asia Vacation" sample that in Seadragon Mobile?
Thanks
