#### View images in random order from selected folders

Shows the images of a folder in random order, without repeats.

Pick a folder and the viewer scans it recursively for JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP and
JPEG XL images, then displays them one at a time. The window size, position and
the last folder are remembered between runs, animated GIF, WebP and JPEG XL
play at their native frame timing, viewed images can be revisited through the
history, and folders marked as collections are shown in order instead of at
random.
