random photo question
Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2013 5:07 am
I saw a question about photos repeating when randomised.
The answer seemed to relate to the pro edition.
I'm using the free edition in a similar way with several thousand photos, and I also notice that
photos seem to repeat. I have got the "At the end of the show rebuild the file list" option ticked, so that's not the issue.
I have used several random photo show screen savers and they all seem to do the repeat thing so I suspect that it's
an issue with the randomising algoritim.
I've tried to do the file list thing as per FAQ25 but my version doesn't have an option to include shortcut to file list (*.glst) option.
The only option only offers shortcut folders (*.ink), which I have got ticked.
I have my *.glst file in a folder which is the only one in the folder list, but I get an error message "can't find any file to show in the configured folder list"
IOr perhaps this is actually not available in the free version.
Any help appreciated!
Cheers,
Jonathan.
