I have 16000 photos in my Pictures folder. They do not seem to display randomly. The last 1000 photos I added rarely show up, even though I would expect to see one every 16 photos. I have file options set to random. I have not "weighted" any of my photos, so I assume they should all be weighted the same.
Anything I can do to make the display of photos more random?
Thanks

Re: Not Randomm display of PIX
Hello,
Provided no filters or weights are set and gPhotoShow scanned all folders containing new images, gPhotoShow selects images perfectly randomly using a Mersenne Twister MT19937 algorithm
Due to the way random number generators work, there is no guarantee that 1 photo every 16 will be taken from the most recent ones.
Only after a long run you will see that ratio between new and old photos.
