Is there a limit on the number of random settings that can be setup in the Random folder? At the moment I have various fanfares and radio room posters in there,but wondered if it would be possible to setup random crew uniforms so that a variety of different shirts and pullovers could be selected for each new mission. I'm using the 'Men @ Work' mod which contains some excellent shirts. Any advice would be appreciated.

No limitations that I know of, with the possible exception of numbers - I think 100 (0-99) is the maximum number of folders you can have. As far as different files in the same folder, there shouldn't be any problems.

With JScones's help I put together a set of randomized loading screens, which also includes nine different fanfares and three different leers (map table backgrounds). You can download it from my sig. Beware, though - with 300 different screens it's bigger than GWX!

Unlimited.

Just keep in mind though that if you have, say, 100 random folders for screens, then you need 100 of anything else that you want to randomise (assuming 100 is the highest random folder count).

That is, if you have 100 random folders for screens but only 3 random folders for uniforms, then you need to duplicate/repeat random uniforms 97 times to take the count to 100 as well. Otherwise, you'll have 97 instances where you will not get a random uniform, only a random screen.

I had planned to improve the feature to remove this requirement, but never got around to it.
