maximumEntries needed for local source continual shuffle?

Hi - thanks for this module! A question:
I am just using the local source for a directory of 13k images (so far! I'll likely be adding).
Does the maximumEntries with shuffle mean only n images are loaded and shuffled through, and no more entries are ever loaded for a MM instance that just sits running all day? Or will it keep loading new images? In other words, if I really want it to randomly shuffle through all 13k images over a long period of time, do I need to set maximumEntries to something like maybe 15000?
With shuffle enabled on a local source, the module will read all of the images in the given directory, then shuffle, and then will cycle through the first maximumEntries images until the next updateInterval, at which point, it will re-shuffle and a new set of photos will be chosen.
Oh that is perfect, thank you for that clarification!
