I have downloaded several image viewers over the past few days in an
effort to find one that will do what I want it to.
The WT-1 attachment for the D2H transmits the images as soon as they
are taken and drops them into a designated folder on a receiving WIFi
enabled PC/Laptop. I would like to find an image viewer that will
display these images full screen as soon as they are uploaded.
The closest I have got is Compupic which will produce a "Slide Show"
of a directory of images (like many image viewers) but will also
update the slide show as new images are dropped into the directory.
The only downside is the fact that it will not auto rotate the images.
Nikon view will auto rotate images - except in slide show mode.
There seems to be many viewers that should do the job but just don't.
Either they do not auto rotate or they will not update the dirctory
once the slideshow has started.

I've just helped a few people create a similar solution using the
product MyTrigger that is produced and sold by my company torgesta.com.
They were using the popular program Irfanview to display the images. I
noted that noone replied to your post in a rather long time, so I'm
taking the liberty to provide a solution.
MyTrigger creates triggers that wait for specific events to occur on
your computer, it can for instance wait for a file to be added to a
folder. In a support issue earlier today I wrote the following guide
that pretty much solves your problem:
First, go to http://www.torgesta.com/mytrigger/ to download a copy of
MyTrigger and then install it. Note that you need to submit your email
on the download page in order to get an evaluation code.
1. When MyTrigger starts the first time, the UI should appear with the
Advanced tab showing. On that tab, you can enter the trial license key
that you received via email. The app should now display how many days
left you have on your evaluation.
2. Select the Folders tab and click "Add" to create a new trigger.
3. Type in the name of the folder to watch, this would be the folder
that your images are transfered to.
4. Type *.* in the Filter text box.
5.1 Create a file named irfanlaunch.cmd and save it in the folder
C:\Program Files\IrfanView\
C:\Program Files\IrfanView\irfanlaunch.cmd:
=============================================
taskkill /im i_view32.exe
REM This is a way to pause a script 2 sec:
REM change 2 to a higher value if needed
@ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 > NUL
pushd "C:\Program Files\IrfanView"
start /D. i_view32 %1 /fs
popd
5.2 In the Execute command text box, type in (exactly as I typed it
here, including the quotation marks):
"C:\Program Files\IrfanView\irfanlaunch.cmd" "%FILE1%"
6. Check the "Add" checkbox and leave all the other ones unchecked.
7. Click "Save" to save your trigger and then "OK" to close the UI.
Now you when you copy files to the folder you specified in step 3
above, IrfanView will display it in full screen mode. Hopefully, this
will acheive what you are looking for. Please feel free to contact me
if you have questions.
