Random Wok 1.0
Random Wok - Aperture export plugin gives the names of the images it exports random file names more>>
Random file names are useful if you want to hide the sequence or meaning of the file names or if a random ordering is needed for a program that displays them in alphabetical order.
Random Wok exports random names with length and type that can be selected and you can also provide a prefix and a postfix strings that are applied to the ends of the random part of the name.
I have extensively blogged the development of Random Wok and posted all the articles together on the Random Wok Aperture Plugin page. If you are interested in writing your own plugin, this will give you a good idea of the level of skill and experience needed.
Controls
Kind: Case: Length: The style of the random part of the name is selectable among numeric, hex, alpha, and alphanumeric. All except the numeric style allow the selection of character case: upper, lower, or both. The length can be varied.
Freeze with: tells Random Wok to use the characters in the text field to generate the random names. The same characters value will always create the same set of random file names for the same images if the other settings are the same. This can be useful if you want to create links to random images and be able to repeatably export and upload them without breaking the links. With the freeze with checkbox unchecked names are completely random.
Prefix and Postfix are added to the beginning and end of the random part.
Random Wok displays thumbnails for versions (but not masters) and shows the version name, the caption, and an example random file name. If Freeze with is checked, then the new names shown will be used for the export.

Random Playlist Creator 2.2
Random Playlist Creator is an application that randomly generates iTunes playlists from a source playlist. more>>
Main features:
- Creates multiple iTunes playlists of a specified combined file size or playing time. The number of playlists created is dependent on the number of tracks in the source playlist.
- Creates "super-playlists", each consisting of one or more segments (each segment comprises an iTunes playlist). This feature is especially useful for flash-based MP3 players with expansion cards where the internal memory is a different size than the expansion memory.
- Allows the last generated super-playlist to be randomly padded with tracks from previously generated super-playlists.
- Allows groups of tracks to be kept together in a specified order within the generated playlists. This feature is useful for albums where multiple tracks comprise a single contiguous song and some of the tracks do not stand very well on their own, such as the tracks that comprise each LP side of Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon.
- Track groupings can be defined either by creating a specially-named playlist or by defining the "grouping" ID3 tag in each song file.
- The defined track groupings can be individually enabled or disabled for use when generating random playlists with track groupings.
- Allows a group of tracks to either be constrained to a single segment (if its possible for the group to fit completely within one segment) or to span multiple segments within a super-playlist.
- Provides an enhanced shuffle mode where an entire playlist can be shuffled into a single new playlist with the track groupings intact.
- Provides an option to use only the MP3-formatted files in the source playlist -- useful for MP3 CDs and non-iPod MP3 players.
Enhancements:
- Presets can be defined to allow quick selection of often-used settings.
