You’re in luck! Click on the ‘More Settings’ button from the main settings dialog, go to the ‘Advanced’ section and click ‘Change to a random mode on every switch’ and that’ll do exactly what you’re after!

John –
So far love the program. Only thing I have found is that my pictures will only switch based on which mode is Current – I’d love for it to randomly switch between modes – so 1 switch and I am looking at one of my photos from Picasa, and the next, one of my DeviantArt feeds.
This is also important to me because I have a small collection of actual backgrounds I like to see, but that mode gets repetitive fast.

Let me know if this makes sense.

Thanks Raja! I’m afraid you can’t do it out of the box in the current version but I’ll investigate that for the next version.

In the meantime if you were technically inclined you could set up JBS as a scheduled task (which is explained in the help file) and create an app that periodically alters the JBS settings file (Settings.xml that you can find if you click ‘Open Folder’ in the ‘Import/Export’ section of the ‘More Settings’ dialog) to turn various photo sets on and off at will.

Great app John
I have seven picture sets saved. How do I choose different picture sets for different days of the week and shuffle within the picture set on a given day?

thanks

Hi Dario, that would be great! I’m hoping to have the next version translated into multiple language so will let you know nearer the time if you’re still interested in helping out.

Hello John, thanks for this freeware.
What do you think about translate it? I mean ..to have a multi-language package…

I’m Italian and I could help if youd like to translate it.

Thanks again.
Dario

Hmmm, that’s a good idea. Maybe I should create a forum topic to that end. Thanks!
