Short: WB-Pic random selector (shows really all pics!) Author: a.boerner@bbrandes.berlinet.de (Andreas Boerner) Uploader: sysop bbrandes berlinet de (Bernd Brandes) Type: util/rexx Architecture: m68k-amigaos YARSelector ----------- Yet Another Random Selector --------------------------- Yes, this is also a random selector for Workbench background pictures. It is simple, it is ARexx but it has one feature most of the other 'pseudo-random' selectors don't have: It randomly shows *all* your Pictures in a given dir and you don't get bored of viewing the same picture every third startup, while discovering some of them two times a year. How it works? ------------- YARSelector saves a list with the shown pictures in the picture directory on every startup. Next startup, it reads this list and excludes all pictures, appearing in this list, from the random selection. Then the new list is saved. So the program random-selects a picture only if it was not shown before until all pictures in the dir have been shown one time and so on. --- Let me say, that this script took about three hours of my life and I hope it takes no further minute - it should work and hopefully that's all. I published YARSelector, because I think, it maybe useful for some people, but I will never publish an update for it. If you want to use the script and it doesn't work, email me and I help you to get the script working, but that's it. So, if you want, download the script, use it, change it, get inspired from it or whatever you want. Have fun!
