Publisher's description
From Steve Murphy :The Automatic Wallpaper Changer is designed to do one thing well, allow you to change your desktop wallpaper on a timed basis. The displayed image can be stretched for best fit to the screen, optionally maintaining its aspect ratio, or displayed at its actual size. When displaying a picture the user can choose to display it in any of the four corners of the screen, centered on one edge, or tiled. When resizing you can pick the resizing method that works best for your pictures from Bilinear re-sampling up to Lanczos and Catmull-Rom. You can further refine the list of files to display by filtering on file date or age and by file name. Image types supported: JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, RLE, TGA, and PCX.
Version 3.0.1 features EXIF orientation recognition, version checking, and detection of the end of file editing session. Version 3.0.2 may include screen is locked or the screen saver is displayed. (request (sort of) by GullyF). Fix to stop error if EXIF formatting in pic is not to standard. Added option to allow AWC to change pic at end of timer period even if the Changed the way the timer operates if AWC is set not to change the picture if the screen is locked: It will now wait until the screen is unlocked and change immediately rather than waiting for the end of the next timer period. (request by daven) Bug fix. Hours and seconds period setting were transposed so that selecting seconds actually gave you hours and vice versa. Added /File command line option so user can specify a single file to display. Huge update to command line options as promised back in June last year. Tool tip that pops up from notification tray icon now shows the current file's full name and time remaining. (Request by nunpoom) Worst fit option added.

Version: Automatic Wallpaper Changer 3.0.2
"This does exactly what you think it should and it's FREE"
Pros: I really enjoy this program because you can just point it to a directory and it will pull your wallpapers from there (subdirectories and all) I was using a previous program that would require you to ADD files from your wallpaper list if you wanted to put new ones in the cycle. VERY annoying, not this one. Just point and go. Also, there are plenty of options to change so it will behave pretty much exactly how you'd like it to. Changing wallpaper isn't a hard job for an application to do, so paying for one to do it is dumb. I like this one. Yay for me.
Cons: it's TOO free
