How can I set default the background slideshow settings?

I set up a slideshow with Shotwell. Then I wanna change the time interval between two images but there is no setting in Shotwell about that. So I create a new one. The problem started here. The last slideshow is not affected by new settings. The old one is still working. How can I set default the slideshow settings in Ubuntu?

First get the default values by below commands

gsettings get org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow delay
gsettings get org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow show-title
gsettings get org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow transition-delay

Example:

pratap@i7-4770:~$ gsettings get org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow delay
3.0
pratap@i7-4770:~$ gsettings get org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow show-title
false
pratap@i7-4770:~$ gsettings get org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow transition-delay
0.29999999999999999

now set your preferred values by below commands

gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow delay 1
gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow show-title true
gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow transition-delay 0.1

Example:

pratap@i7-4770:~$ gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow delay 1
pratap@i7-4770:~$ gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow show-title true
pratap@i7-4770:~$ gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.slideshow transition-delay 0.1
pratap@i7-4770:~$ 

Alternatively you can install dconf-editor with below command

sudo apt update && sudo apt install dconf-editor

Once, Installed Open it and search for shotwellyou can see lot of options if you want.
