Synopsis::
In my pictures, the slide show with sub directories does not work randomly (obviously random has been selected in setup) the first time it is launched! If you stop the slide show, and reselect it a second (third and so on) time, it works perfectly as a random slide show.

No body is interested by random in My Pictures?

Personnaly, I use Windows Pictures screen saver on my HTPC in order to get a dynamic frame with random personnal pictures... (my wife loves it)... but it should be great to have an automatic feature operational and easily to launch/autolunch

I agree.
I'm looking to
- use system screen saver as MP screen saver OR
- having random picture screen saver in MP.

Up to now, I didn't succeeded

PS: My wife also loves it...

Have you tried testing this in the latest offical release 0.2.1.0? I would install that and then do the test... report back any logs using pastebin.
