If you want to do it via folder, here is something i would go about doing.

in your template you would do <?php custom_slideshow_image_list();?>

and have the slider code above or below that, the part where it sets the div, jquery, etc

Code:
    function custom_slideshow_image_list()
    {
        $path = sprintf( '%s/images/slideshow/', TEMPLATEPATH );
        $url = sprintf( '%s/images/slideshow/', get_bloginfo( 'template_directory' ) );
        $file_types = array( '*.jpg', '*.png', '*.gif' );

        $images = array();
        foreach( $file_types as $file_type )
            foreach( glob( $path . $file_type ) as $file )
                $images[ $file ] = $url . basename( $file );

        $output = "<ul id=\"slideshow\">\n\t";
        foreach( $images as $i )
            $output .= sprintf( "\t<li><img src=\"%s\" alt=\"%s\" /></li>\n\t", $i, basename( $i ) );
        $output .= "</ul>\n";

        echo $output;
    }
hope this helps (images/slideshow) being the directory inside your theme dir.
