Shuffle Photos in Exhibition (webOS 3)

[Pikestra]

I was going to try and create a patch to enable a shuffle function when viewing photos in exhibition mode, when I had found that HP had already started on it but had commented it out. The code is in the file: /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.photos/source/modes/SlideshowMode.js.

So I created a patch that re-enabled the function and installed it on my TouchPad, it kind of works but it starts to go back in order after a while. The amount of photos that it takes before it stops shuffling seems to relate to how many photos had already passed before I pushed the shuffle button (although I'm not 100% on this).

I think the problem may lie in this file: /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.photos/source/widgets/SlideshowPlayList.js, as it seems that is where it sets the playlist lengths and what order to play them in.

I think I have gone as far as my current knowledge in this will allow, so any extra help will be greatly appreciated
