Re: Randomizer bias

The randomization function has no issue but it's all about probability. It's like rolling a dice, if you consider a long enough sequence of rolls each number has the same probability but nothing excludes that the 6 could come out 3 times in a row

Re: Auto rotate of photos?

U...

The transition is performed by windows not by WallpaperSS for this reason there is only a single transition, the only one performed by windows. There is no plan to implement further transitio...

Re: Randomizer bias

It appears that the randomizer has a bias that lasts about a week or so. Every morning I boot up and launch the program. For about a week we see what appears the same group of folders.
