@Nneuland no idea, I use it all the time and have sequential false…

@Nneuland how many images?

the algoritm use in IP is

Math.floor(Math.random() * photos.length);

math random is 0-1
math floor rounds up (>0)
it needs an whole number cause there is a 0-(num-1) list of images to pick

so the smaller the list the more common the results will be

I have about 150 images

@sdetweil

I have quite a few images. 260 i think. I suppose i could write a script to rename my images randomly as a work around. but we just curious if anyone has similar issues.

thanks

@Nneuland has nothing to do with the names…

its purely count

you could write quick js to test the results with 260 images

 let num_images=260
 const generate = () => Math.floor(Math.random() * num_images);
 let hash={}
 for(let i =0; i<num_images; i++){
 	 let t=generate()
   console.log("iteration ",i ," index ",t )
   if(hash[t]===undefined)
   	hash[t]=0
   hash[t]++
 }
 console.log("starting hash dump")
for(let i =0; i<num_images; i++){
 	if(hash[i] === undefined)
 		console.log("found unused    at "+i)
 	else if(hash[i]===1)
 		console.log("found 1 use     at "+i)
 	else if(hash[i]>1)
 		console.log("found recurring at "+i)
 }
 console.log("done with hash dump")

there were dups, and unused

@sdetweil I’ll try that out. Thank you Sam!
