Version: 0.9.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux It would appear that the media browser sorts files in alphabetical order on a per directory basis. On my camera (flash card) there are files named img_*.jpg for images and mvi_*.avi for movies. Because the files are sorted alphabetically, my pictures / videos do not appear in the correct order. For example, if I have the following files: img_001.jpg img_002.jpg mvi_003.avi img_004.jpg img_005.jpg the media browser displays them in this order: img_001.jpg img_002.jpg img_004.jpg img_005.jpg mvi_003.avi Basically this makes me have to hunt for movies that correspond to the same "set" as my still images. The problem is compounded because it does this on a per-directory basis. If all my images were in one directory, it wouldn't be that big of a problem ... all my movies would be at the end. But because this is done on a per-directory basis, depending on the number of directories on my flash card, I have mvi_* files scattered throughout the media browser display, not in chronological order. It would be nice to have an option to sort files a specific way in the media browser, or to have them sorted chronologically by default.
Don't agree with specific sorting patterns. Too much hassle for feature used by very little group of users. Setting default sorting to chronological is IMO interesting proposition.
I'm agree with Mik, To be more precise, all more recent files must be listed on the top of items list, not at end. There is already an entry in bugzilla about this subject. Gilles Caulier
