Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to be able to drop files on my Nextcloud instance while a slideshow plays on another machine, and I want those new files to appear in the slideshow. (E.g. at a wedding: one PC displays the looping slideshow, everyone at the party uploads their pictures; the slideshow displays everyone's pictures, without requiring any kind of manual intervention)

Describe the solution you'd like
When the slideshow loops back to the beginning, it should scan the current folder for new or removed files, and add them to the slideshow.

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A. Google Photos for example has the same issue.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the slideshow loop handling in the viewer and inspect how the current folder's files are loaded; done means the slideshow detects added and removed files when it returns to the beginning without manual intervention.
