randomize bridge

A workaround (involves some simple programming): duplicate a folder's content and add a random number in front of every picture filename, then sort those duplicated files by name. Here's the Python way to do it:

import os, random, shutil
directory= r"C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Pictures\New Folder"
listdir = os.listdir(directory)
directory_new=directory + os.sep + '_rnd'
try:
os.mkdir(directory_new)
except:
print 'error creating directory'
for filename in listdir:
if filename[:4] == '_rnd':continue
shutil.copy(directory + os.sep + filename,
directory_new + os.sep + str(random.randint(0,1000)) + '_' + filename) Answered Jul, 25 2011

For Android, there is RandomRing: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dicren.randomring&hl=en For the iPhone, I’ve never managed to find a solution that can be accessed outside of Cydia.
