You could create an album and present the album as an instant slideshow in random order using an Apple Script.

Jul 16, 2016 9:32 PM in response to iTBotBby iTBotB,The scripts randomization process is not optimal. What I found was that with more images than 50, the script's randomization resulted in groups of adjacent photos instead of true randomization. I fixed this by putting a repeat loop around the randomization code. Repeating four times worked well with up to 500 images. I didn't test higher numbers.
