I have made a new discovery !! (I feel like Thomas Edison) If you use Canon's standard nomenclature for folders (3 numbers 100-999 followed by 5 letters) and the contents of said folder follow the IMG_1234.JPG or .CR standard, you can move the entire folder over to your SD. No need to create it in the camera, allowing you to use folder names more directly descriptive of the contents.

I am enjoying your journey through this. But, there are really are easier ways of getting a slideshow on your TV!

Explain them in detail. Make me look like a fool. I will risk it.

I don't think you got the Nobel prize. The Nobel prizes are awarded to those accomplishments that contributes to peace. You didn't really create peace on the UHH did you?

Reinventing a square and calling it a wheel ... they don't give awards for those efforts either, at least not the kind of awards you want to acknowledge.

Copy the images to a USB drive, and plug it into your TV.

Another alternative if your TV will act as a DLNA renderer (most modern TVs will - my 10+ year old Sony has that feature), simply send the images over your WiFi directly from your computer using Windows Media player or equivalent. https://youtu.be/xuwQhKqkTR0

I don't know about the camera but plugging the USB to the TV works well as far as image quality is concerned. Sending over Wifi in some cases the images aren't full 4K. I guess you can make it 4K but I don't think it's simple. However, using the USB stick the TV built in slide show software doesn't have many features a regular slide show program has. I can't even change the interval between slides.
I wonder if I get 4K images using the camera. Anybody knows?

What is special about 4K? That's literally nothing more than a pixel-based image that is 3840px wide on the typical "4K" TV. You'd have to have a rather old digital camera to have images less than 3840px wide.

Thomas Edison never won a Nobel Prize.

Nothing special but I have 4K TV and my picture has more than 4K so if I do slide show I like to be able to show them in 4K not 1080p. If I have 8K it would be better. I meant if I connect the camera to the TV like the way the OP did I may have 1080p or even less.
I know casting the image from my PC via wifi to the TV I only have 1080p regardless of how many pixels I have in my images.

Are you saying your wifi connection dynamically resizes your image files so they show at a fraction of the total screen size on the TV?

It shows full screen but lower res than the tv can

The pixel resolution is the pixel resolution .... If the image fills the screen, the image is either a) being dynamically rescaled down from a higher pixel resolution (> 3840px) to the exact 3840px of the screen, just like viewing a 24MP image on your UHD computer monitor. Or b), you've resized your images to match the target 3840 wide-side resolution of the screen.

"1080p" is nothing more than 1080-pixels on the vertical and usually 1920px on the wide size. If 1080p was actually involved, you'd see much smaller images, not filling the pixel resolution of a 4K screen measuring (typically) 3840x2160.

I don't have a PC with a 4K screen and the driver set up for 4K. I use a PC with 1080p screen and when I cast it on the TV it displays exactly what was on the PC screen. Doing so I have a lower resolution slide show than possible with simple USB card with image files on it. I will try to connect the TV to the camera like the way the OP did and see what happens. I think I would have lower resolution than just using the USB card. It's not about 4k or anything but it's about making a slide show that maximize the capablility of my equipment. That is the highest resolution I can with my equipment.
So while the OP may think he won the Nobel prize I don't think that what I would do for slide show.

But will a USB driver allow organizing into separate folders for different subjects? I don't know the answer to that. But even if it does, it still requires you to get additional gear that you might not otherwise have.
