    Instead of shuffling all pictures of a slideshow 1.4 Pre Release selects a picture at random when the next picture is to be selected. This results in pictures being repeated and others to be omitted.

    Correct behaviour is to shuffle all available pictures and to show them in this new random order without omissions or duplicates (either shuffle the list or shuffle a list of numbers and select from that, shuffling for recursive should probably be per folder as loading all folders will probably take too long).

    When running a random slideshow the picture selected after exiting (ESC or back) the slideshow MP will select the picture at the position equal to the number of pictures shown instead of the last shown picture/film.

    EDIT : 2013.06.06-2 Updated current link to full installer : -->> HERE <<--

    We need regression test for potential issue :

    • Recursive/not recursive slideshow
    • With option random (on/off)
    • With repeat (on/off)
    • With/without music playing
    • With/without folder.m3u (inside folder)
    • With/without playing video in slideshow.
    • Doing F7/F8 (to skip video/picture)
    • See what happen when folder reach the end.
    • Doing ESC and see if it's the correct latest item played etc.
    Thanks :)

    Hi Seb, back again.

    As I stated in PM, Random works great. But ESCing out of SlideShow and/or Fullscreen does not return me to the currently selected picture. Steps:
    1. 14-33-34.png
    2. 14-33-42.png
    3. 14-33-45.png

    P.S.: Strange not only opening a picture shows the hidden menu, also pressing F11 for Screenshot opens the hidden menu. Strange bug

    Yes in Share view - tried Default & Titan - both the same. Also tried the 1.4 Pre-Release + current patches planned for 1.4 from the Team forums.

    I used default folder settings. I did not change anything after clean install. Right now not at my notebook. Jus uninstall mp completely (remove all settings) & test

    Hi, it seems related to titan (skin bug ?) (@ncoH maybe has an idea)

    It was related to hide extension of files, it should be ok now :)

    Since it also happened using Default Wide it is probably not skin related (still might have the same bug in both).
