I just changed it a few days ago, so I cannot tell yet. I'll write again in a few weeks if it still feels not really random. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-randomness-reset/?ID=52b9e67b-75e6-410b-ad5e-7beef0c378f0#2 Thu, 13 Dec 2018 19:12:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-randomness-reset/?ID=52b9e67b-75e6-410b-ad5e-7beef0c378f0#2 DisplayFusion The default days to expire is 7 days. Has it looked better since you changed it to 999? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-randomness-reset/?ID=52b9e67b-75e6-410b-ad5e-7beef0c378f0 Wed, 12 Dec 2018 23:25:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-about-randomness-reset/?ID=52b9e67b-75e6-410b-ad5e-7beef0c378f0 DisplayFusion Hello DisplayFusion Developers,

at first a thank you for this cool program for a really affordable price!

I have a small question about the randomness, I read 2 old discussions about the randomness: How does DF choose random wallpapers and Random Wallpaper.

I read that you basically keep a list of the previously shown images in "WallpaperHistoryV4.db" and once there is no image available, which is not in the history, you clear the history and choose a new one.
My question is how does this work when having multiple wallpaper profiles?

For my Laptop I basically have 3 folders:
A_Presentation - 3 Images
B_Landscape - About 30 Images
C_AnimeAndGames - About 150 Images

And my Desktop Profiles are
1. Folder A
2. Folders A + B
3. Folders A + B + C

I switch between these profiles at least twice a day. I use 3 when I'm at home, 2 for university and 1 while holding presentations, which I do at least once a week. I have the feeling that when I switch to 3 I often see the same images after switching to it. Does the history get fully reset when I'm through all 3 images of profile 1? Or does it keep a seperate list for each profile and it's just a wrong feeling for me?

Could I resolve (decrease the effect of) this issue by changing Profile A to 1 fixed wallpaper (no randomness)?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I recently just noticed the AdvancedSetting for the HistoryReset Timer, so my testing was before setting it up to 999. I couldn't see a previous value in the advanced settings tab. Maybe, if the default value is very low this could also explain the non-randomness I was experiencing. ]]>
