Most file slideshow apps even ACDSee are limited to 32,000 images because of the {rnd} random integer call limit. Some other PC programs like fast image viewer do not use a table index for images and use the long integer count which is much much greater.

So does anyone know the function apple uses for this app? Am I still using a PC to get 200,000 images to be random? Lets say I have 200,000 or more images and I want to see any one of them randomly without any other setting or factor, can this new app go to a folder or tree and truly pull from that large of a database and display 1 image at random then do it again and again each time randomly without a preloaded sequence or a block sequence?

rnd is 32 bit. Surely we are well beyond that now, yes?

Thanks.
