   There is a time line, so they have to be displayed in the given   
   order, but the start of the sequence should be random. But if the   
   starting point is near the end of the sequence, then there are not   
   enough pictures in list1.txt, so the picture show would be finished   
   before the PC ist switched off. Therefore the complete file list   
   is appended to list1.txt. But the number of pictures displayed in   
   one session is always much lower than the total number of pictures.
