Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I installed the screensaver and selected it, on running I observed lots of
repetition,
and not that much variety in the images displayed.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Installed a larger dictionary, then ran the demo with verbose output enabled (
-vv )
Although I inspected the upstream source, the idea of trying to compile on an
old
PII (klamath) machine put me off the idea of attempting to modify the search
routines,
or try using the slightly newer upstream version.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The dictionary appeared to make little difference, output from the -vv
--no-output
options indicated the majority of sources returning no images, and a very heavy
reliance on results from flikr.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected a decent sized dictionary to result in a wide variety of images,
without
much repetition.
