Slide show bug/feature enhancement request

[Jim Ellwanger]

I’ve verified that what I’m about to describe is true in version 9.0.2. Of course, it’s possible that I’ve missed a setting somewhere… If "Repeat Slide Show" is checked in Preferences > Slide Show > General, and "Random order" is checked when starting a slide show, the slide show will play in random order the first time through, but then the second time through (and third, fourth…), it will play in the "Sort Files"/"Order" specified in the preferences. The behavior I would expect, based on certain Preferences > Slide Show > General settings, when "Random order" is checked, is this: 1. "Repeat Slide Show" not checked — play through the slide show in random order once. 2. "Repeat Slide Show" checked and "Reload file list before loop" not checked — play through the slide show in random order, repeat in the same order. 3. "Repeat Slide Show" and "Reload file list before loop" both checked — play through the slide show in random order, repeat in a different random order. -- Jim Ellwanger <trainman@ellwanger.tv> <http://www.ellwanger.tv>
