Hello,
thank you very much for implementing the slide show feature.
I would like to have an additional option to randomize the slide show.
Thank you.
There is such an option.

John - This works for IMatch but not for IMA.. 8)
Oops! :-[
I didn't realize I was on the IMA board, thanks for the correction Andy.
This is unfortunately not easy to implement.
The component I use for the slide show works great on a wide range of devices. With mouse, keyboard or touch.
It basically creates a long (loooong!) image from all source images and when you navigate or swipe, it scrolls this 'band' to reveal the new image.
Jumping randomly between portions of this band is possible, but produces a lot of scrolling and flicker, even on a modern PC with a very fast graphic card. Much worse on mobiles or tablets.
To introduce a random slide show I would need to find another component which works equally well and does not use banding but individual images. This is quite hard.
Scratch that.
I have found a way to do this inside IMatch WebViewer code itself, handing over a randomized file set to the viewer component.
+1 from me for the randomize feature!
