Hi Philip,
Glad to see this ticket get some attention. Looking this ticket over I think we weren't specific enough in the details.. Do we want a random order for the photos (which means the next photo could be any photo in the collection, including the current one) or a shuffle, where the entire set is randomized and then displayed in that order (and when the list has depleted, they are reshuffled)? Unfortunately in this ticket, both terms are used interchangeably, when in fact they mean different operations.
I'll talk with Adam about this. My feeling is we want a shuffle algorithm.

Yes – we want to shuffle the entire list and then display the photos in the shuffled order.

This didn't quite make today's string freeze; dropping from 0.7.

There's been no activity on this ticket for a month, so I'm unassigning. Philip, if you decide to work on this again feel free to reassign to yourself.
