Random mode on Load Image Batch keeps choosing the same images

[Tromazing]

I've set up a Load Image Batch node to select from a few hundred different images in several subfolders, using the "*/**" pattern and Random mode. But around 8 out of 10 that come up are the same few on rotation. What could be causing this and is there a way around it?

random is incredibly un-random, is really the issue likely. In ComfyUI you'll notice if you select from a range of numbers you get the same repeated vales all the time. The best way around that is simply a better random number generator.

I can't see anything wrong with the code. It simply grabs a random number between 0 and the number of images detected, and selects a random index.
