Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
With earlier iPhoto I am often using the the slideshow feature and the random view function.
In new Apple Photos I cannot find the gearwheel or similar tho change this setting.
Slideshows only shows in the chronological order.
Is it not yet there or am I looking in the wrong place?
Pls help!
Thanks
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
Just correcting my OS: It's Yosemite 10.10.3
Is it not yet there or am I looking in the wrong place?
There is no "Shuffle slide order" option in the new Photos application.
Send a feature request to Apple - you can use this feedback form: Apple - Photos - Feedback
As a work around you could present your slideshow by setting the album with the photos as the source for the screensaver. The screensaver has a "Shuffle" option in the system preferences > Desktop&Screensaver.
Thanks for your reply léonie
Have filed an enchancement request for this issue.
However your solve reveals another missed function in Photos.
Screensaver no longer hold the option to link to Photos; as it did in iPhoto
Seems I need to write another enhancement request!😁
Is your Photos library enabled as the System Photos Library?
Otherwise it will not show in the Media Browser. Check the Photos Preferences > General: "Use as System Photo Library" should show as greyed out.
It can take a very long time for the Photos Library to appear in the Screensaver Source list. Plenty of time to have a cup of coffee. And it annoyingly will frequently revert to National Geographic.
Thanks léonie
This solved my latter, hoping Apple solves the first!!
Thanks for your assistance!!

SUL!!
Have a nice weekend too! 🙂
This issue is still not solved.
On the other hand; it became even more highlighted with the release and installation of El Captitan.
I had hoped that random view of Photo slide shows should have been taken care of.
But not yet.
I did file a request form in May but naturally no comment to this.
The "showing random view in Photos" issue is still not solved. Struggling with this issue since 2014 when migrating to Photos which, I regret by now.
Hope that some Apple developer could read this..
Apple photos slide show random view
