How many photos can the random desktop photo selecter handle?

It's annoying... I have a folder with 588 images in it, and when I pick it, the system prefs application crashes. Booooo

So annoying.

Unknown, but 588 must be too many, choose a folder with fewer images!

I have 230 some pictures, no problems here. So it is somewhere between 230 and 588

i figured out that half the problem is that im running two displays...so its not 588 photos, its 1176 because both displays are selecting from the same folder.

If one display randomly selects from the folder and the other selects from a smaller folder, it works ok...but it can't handle both randomly picking from a folder that big.

Irritating!

How about trying a folder with a nice round number, like 1024 (oops - 1023) Maybe thats the magic number.
