“The random image functionality doesn't work when a folder contains only 2 images. The first image is always shown, the second never. That's not very random.”
Comment 1 Felix Riemann 2010-11-02 20:12:50 UTC 
Switched the random number generation from some ugly rand()-magic to GRandom.
Workd better.

    Use GRandom as random value generator for random image function
    
    Seems to have a better distribution. At least works better with lower
    image counts. Fixes bug 633764.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
