103 <para>When a single image is selected, all images in the current folder are included in the slide show. The sequence will begin with the current image; however if random slide shows are enabled, the sequence will begin with a random image from the list.</para>
104 <para>To only include some images in a slide show, use multiple selection to select the images to include before starting the slide show.</para>
105 <para>An image collection can be used as the list of images, to do this drag an image from a collection window onto the image pane. Starting a slide show will then include the images from that collection.</para>

108 <link linkend="GuideOtherWindowsImageWindow">Image Window</link>
