I have attached a patch that does this, I hope you'll like it.
Also I'm not sure if we need the below code in advance(), I have removed it in
the patch:
if (slidecount > idx + 1 && slides[idx + 1].img)
ffread(slides[idx + 1].img);
if (0 < idx && slides[idx - 1].img)
ffread(slides[idx - 1].img);
That seems to preload the next and previous slide image right? A minor issue I
notice also is that images seem to flicker, it uses XPutImage directly to
xw.win. Maybe it can be replaced with a backbuffer then XCopyArea? What do you
think?
In advance() it should also not always be needed to rescale the image.

Subject: [PATCH] merge ffread and ffopen into one function
previously an image file would be opened but only ffread when advancing to
the slide, but when the slide was not used it gave an error:
/usr/local/bin/2ff: failed to convert image/png
this changes it to load the image on-demand once and "cache" it.
