Version: (using Devel) Compiler: gcc4.3.2 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources With flat list of images in Albums GUI (great feature, thanks Marcel!) and - I hope - more sorting features in future it is important to have quick access to sorting. This could be achieved with yet another button/menu in status bar. It is not uncommon feature - such thing exists in XnView, FotoStation, IMatch. Slight difference: in those applications various options are placed in auxiliar toolbar for album gui not in global status bar.
Mik, This can done very quickly i think. It just to make a wrapper to action menu in a combobox. Note : you can already do that in tool bar, using toolbar editor Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 35587 [details] KMail screenshot KMail has this solution, sort role and sort order merged in one menu. They have an additional menu for aggregation which we call "Group By" currently, which could be merged as well.
Git commit 91a71c0e48780b572ea0c8320c96af6d1a9e8f90 by Gilles Caulier. Committed on 16/02/2011 at 12:49. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'development/2.0'. Move Rating filter from statusbar to Tags Filter view from right sidebar. As Rating is considerated as a Labels (like Pick or Color), it need to be moved near Pick/Color Label filters. Note that i plan to move all filters from status bar to right Sidebar and rename "Tag Filters" as "Filters", and to add 2 buttons on status bar : "Reset" to clean all active filters "Settings" (or something like that) to switch on "Filters" panel from right sidebar. The advantage to use "Filters" panel from right side bar is to be able to host more filters in the future. Status bar is limited in space to host more settings. There are a lots of whishes about this subject in bugzilla.
