Development Log: The initial programming of this software was initiated Nov. 2010 and has now undergone 4 major rewrites (MLprogs, MNprogs, MMprogs and MPprogs). MPprogs has now been in use for over three years now and is the version currently being updated.
2018.08.15 I have now removed image capability from the audio player MPaudio.exe. I have now also created a small stand alone image display program MPimage.exe which will henceforth always be used when I need an image displayed. Presently I have the resizing and full screen functions working. I have also programmed a cascade of images where multiple copies of MPimage.exe are running as when being used as a music player.
