No, it's still on the to-do list.

This would be very helpful for a project I'm working on now. When the character's Hold they don't come to a dead stop , but the hold is a five drawing trace-back cycle (to keep the line slightly alive/"breathing") . To keep the five drawing cycle from becoming apparent on a longer hold I need the five drawing traceback cycle to be repeated randomly.

Thanks.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you ! A Repeat Images - Random Exposure script would be very helpful.

So, it appears that there is no George command to apply the Repeat Images - Random option.
I've added the request to our to-do list, it should be there for the 11.0.4 update.

Thank you. I look forward to the 11.0.4 update .

In the meantime , here is a workaround I came up with , which might work for anyone else needing images exposed in random order .

1.) Export the images that you want exposed randomly as lossless PNG image sequence.

2.) Use a program called Renamer , which can re-name and re-number files , but it has a RANDOM feature , which will shuffle the numbering of an image sequence in random order. Renamer is for Mac , but I'm sure there are similar programs for Windows.

3.) Import the shuffled image sequence back into the TVPaint file on a layer over the previous layer.
Run Scan Cleaner on the images .
Hide or delete the previous (non-random) layer.

I use Renamer all the time, but this was new to me. Thx!
