This kind of gallery is often used to put pics taken from a digital camera (travels...) so the default setting should be "sort by exif date" Created attachment 62454 [details]
Sorts images by exif date and sort by filename if date in not available
i've decided to extend a little bit sorting, by adding a sort by filename, because when i tested it with few images obtained from scanner(scanned with other program that fill no data), it was a total mess. How should work fine.
Please give me some feedback if something is wrong.
Veaceslav.

Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux It is not clear what ordering simpleviewerexport is using to create the sequence in gallery.xml. My wish is it to be data-driven, or selectable, but it appeared to me to be filename-based. So I first aligned all the times in the EXIF *and* of the file with the tools in DigiKam. Checked with other applications and with the terminal. Then I changed the filename to reflect the time, e.g.: IA070126-222127_0001.JPG (my initials, date in ISO format, time and sequential number). I then tagged all the images I wanted to be exported to simpleviewer with a special tag ('simpleviewer') and then I exported the images by selecting 'tag:simpleviewer' (since you cannot export a selection of images, this is the quickest way I can see to do it). The order is *almost* correct, but not correct at 100%. For example I got: <NAME>IA070128-130827_0117.JPG</NAME> <CAPTION>Ujjain, 60km from Indore</CAPTION> </IMAGE> <IMAGE> <NAME>IA070128-135511_0121.JPG</NAME> <CAPTION>Corn sellers</CAPTION> </IMAGE> <IMAGE> <NAME>IA070127-103404_0019.JPG</NAME> <CAPTION>In a temple in Indore</CAPTION> </IMAGE> <IMAGE> <NAME>IA070127-103443_0022.JPG</NAME> <CAPTION>View from a temple, Indore</CAPTION> </IMAGE> As you can see, the filename ordering is incorrect. I can also furnish the images if needed.
