This plugin shuffles files in a specified directory alphabetically or randomly and sends them to Atom and the plugin.
This allows you to automatically switch images and videos displayed on the ImagePanel, automatically switch between various Presets and SubScenes, and automatically switch wall and floor textures.
This plug-in extracts the file shuffling function of PresetLoader and makes it more versatile.
How to use:
1) Load this plugin on a suitable Atom.
2) Press the Select Directory button and select the directory containing the file you want to send to Target Atom. When using ShuffleFiles in a scene loaded from var, if the Use Directory in Scene var toggle is on and the same directory as var exists locally, the directory in var will be selected first. If you want to explicitly specify a local directory, turn it off.
3) Select the file type in File Type or press the Load File List button to display the file list. Image, Video, Image & Video, vap (Preset), json (SubScene), All Extensions are defined for File Type.
