Description
I just started using the Photos app, which allows to view single images, and I assume it is this viewer that actually renders the images.
When I select the slideshow, the images are shown only for a few seconds - I'd like to change that. Not hardcoded but on the UI.
On top of that the preview generation on my system takes quite long (not caused by the viewer), but in effect I am watching the gray placeholder for an image longer than I actually see the image. How about this: Until there is a new image to show, just continue showing the last one?

Research direction
Start at the Photos app's slideshow entry point and trace how the viewer advances images and exposes slideshow timing in the UI. Confirm completion by showing the previous image until the next preview is ready and by allowing the display duration to be changed through the UI.
