Description kgw 2008-12-25 20:14:42 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I sometimes take series of pictures and take them both in JPEG and RAW file format. The thumbnail browser in ShowFoto is sorting them seemingly purely by time which leads to unpredictable order within pictures taken within the same second - of which my camera can take up to 6, so 12 files are shown in the thumbnail browser without any reproducible order. The main sort order IMHO should be image name...

What version of showFoto are you using?
Have you set the sort-order correctly?
You can do so in Settings->Configure->General->Sort Order

Thanks Andi, that was the problem. Now I would only wish for a more obvious way to set this, having this setting hidden away at the bottom of a scroll area didn't really help in discovering it... What I would really like would be to have three buttons above the thumbnail browser which allow to easily check and modify this behavior... If you like I can open a new wish list entry for this and close this one.

Comment 3 Andi Clemens 2009-02-18 20:57:37 UTC

Yes, creating a new wish would be better...
I will close this one now.
