Allows opening local folders and show containing images in a gallery slideshow
LocalGalleryViewerExtension Extension
The idea behind that extension was to bring local images via Chromecast on your HDTV. Since the Chrome browser is able to share a tab via Chromecast, all you need is a powerful webpage that is able to scan a local directory, parses the image file in it and present them in a nice way.
Local Gallery Viewer uses the free jQuery-Plugin SuperBGImage by Andreas Eberhard (http://dev.andreaseberhard.de/jquery/superbgimage/) for presentation. You can open or drag'n'drop local folders from you harddrive diretly into the webpage, share the tab via Chromecast and enjoy local images on your HDTV.
