Description Justace Clutter 2008-05-31 02:37:55 UTC

Version:           SVN (revision 814641 of kdeplasmoids) (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          g++ (GCC) 4.2.4 (Gentoo 4.2.4 p1.0) 
OS:                Linux

If you have slideshow selected in more than one frame applet that uses the same directories then the images are the same every time they update.  It would be better is there was a way to have it randomly select the image to be shown instead.  There should also be an option in the config dialog to track this option

SVN commit 815436 by annma:

Add a random choice to start with random pictures. Patch from Justace Clutter, thanks a lot!
Just one thing to improve I think is to use a KRandomSequence so you won't have twice the same pic and to ensure that all numbers are picked. What do you think?I just KDEified the std::cout to kDebug() in your patch ;)
Nice contribution!
