Playing a Slideshow On USB Insert

[funkyphantom]

Hi,
I have just purchased a Raspberry Pi 2 model b, with a specific project in mind:
I want to use it for showing a slideshow on a monitor which will be behind a bar. New offers, welcome to our club, you know the usual bumf.
I'm very new to linux computers, but have managed to install Raspbian and everything seems to be running nice and smooth. I have also installed 'Libreoffice' which I have managed to get to startup when I power the Pi on.
What I now want to do is to get it to play the Powerpoint presentation automatically when a USB stick is inserted. Is this possible?
Thanks

I don't have a solution, but try googling for something to do with udev rules to run a script upon inserting a usb device, and have that run a script to check the device for any slideshows, and play them if found. Should point you in the right direction at least.

Sounds like a bit of a security risk, not really an issue if the raspi isn't connected up to the local network though.
