Are you talking about the PictureFlow plugin?  If so, it's under Plugins -> Demos.

2) I want to put pictures onto my ipod, in which folder on my ipod do i have to put them?

Are you talking about album art or just images to look at?

1) PictureFlow is already included with daily builds. Look in Plugins -> Demos on the main manu.

2) Put them anywhere you want. As an example, I made a folder called "Pictures" and put my JPEG files in that.

3) We have a calendar (look at this page), but it looks like it's only for the older Archos Jukebox Recorders.

if you want to put pictures on your ipod
Go into my computer click on your ipod
go to .rockbox
then click and drag  ( or copy and paste)
the pictures in your backdrops folder they can be viewed there.

1 more question: you can only watch mpeg on the ipod....do you guys have any converter that converts mpeg4 to mpeg? i looked around and the most converters cost like 10$....

Check out the wiki:  It has sugestions on it:

You can actually take a .bmp stored anywhere on your player and set it as your backdrop.  Incidentally, I wouldn't advise that you store non-backdrop files like .jpegs in that folder.

There is also a Jpeg viewer plugin.  This can be used to display a .jpeg stored anywhere on your player by 'launching' it.

thanks for all your advices!

but i still cant play any mpeg stuff on it.... i downloaded this elephants dream and put it into a folder called videos , but my nano with rockbox wont find it....

is there also a free mpeg4 to mpeg converter???

Do you see the video in the file browser when you go to your "videos" folder?

If not, then check your "File View" setting - this needs to be set to "Supported" or "All".

can you get picture flow on a grayscale 4th gen?

[GodEater]

I'm not really sure why you need the link posted here, when it's perfectly visible in the wiki but:

http://download.rockbox.org/mpeg/elephantsdream-q6-176x96-229kbps.mpg

That is one of two versions known to playback fine on the Nano.
