Subject: Re: Randomising alist

Hi,

I've never though about needing unique random numbers, but it does sound fair so I will try to add it in future versions.

As for the problem you are having with the rnd function, I just tested it myself and it is indeed a bug you've found.. I don't know how it got there, but i will fix it right away!

Here is my solution to your problem:

1. Use for example the "free format" function, and enter
2. The new filename appears in the preview column. But instead of renaming according to this, click on the column header. This will sort the files according to the random numbers.
3. Type for example "_" to get a number sequence with unique numbers!

Tip: the tag can be setup at the "numbers->add counter" tab.

Good luck!
