PolyView for Windows 95 -- PolyView is a graphics viewer and
conversion utility specifically designed for Windows 95 and
Windows NT platforms. BMP, GIF, JPEG, photo-cd, PNG, and
TIFF files can be viewed and manipulated with PolyView. Tools for
the latter task include color enhance, contrast, embossing,
engraving, neon, and brightness, as well as rotation and red/green
balance commands. While several clients offer a greater selection of
tools for modifying files, to date PolyView is the only client that
offers randomized slide shows. With the slide show feature, you can
automatically view any group of files with options for choosing the
length of time for delay, amount of times to repeat, and whether
you want the files loaded in sequence or random order. PolyView is
neither the quickest graphics viewer nor does it offer the most
features, but because it is currently the only app to offer random
slide shows, it does offer one advantage that many will find useful.
Pros: Randomized slide show capability, image viewing and
manipulation tools
Cons: Lacks the speed and features of some of the best graphics
viewers
New:
New filters (embossing, engraving, neon, sharpening, etc.), batch
conversion, more

PolyView is certainly not the only viewer with random slide show.
As your own review states, Thumbs has this feature. And I can confirm it.

Is anyone else having problems with the TWAIN Acquire in Polyview? It crashed
the program for me.
