yes there should be an option to sort by mtime only I can confirm this is still an issue in KDE 4.6.2 Gwenview 2.6.0 Have a look at bug 281720 ( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281720 ), maybe one could solve both bugs/wishes with one configuration option. I can confirm the bug with gwenview 4.11.1 At first, my bug report was about "sorty by date give totally random order", but from what i can read upthere, it could perfectly be that a subtle mix of mtime and EXIF time is used. And if EXIF time is ever considered, then the menu entry "by date" is ambiguous, i've thought for years that mtime would be used then... This is another example of a Frankenstein feature. Half exif, half mtime. And 4 years? Hi using kde 4.14.2, Debian Jessie. I can confirm that this is the case - when set to sort by date, instead gwenview, for me, sorts by most recent viewed date (and therefore the order alters as you look at them). Cheers. Confirmed. Weird bug. *** Bug 329098 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 324435 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 386461 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** So that usability issue is pending since 7 years ... Personally, I have enough repo on github to work on, but it should be easy to add/clarify sorting options.

Yes, as lot of other tickets here, unfortunately. >> So that usability issue is pending since 7 years ...

You are probably feeling better after talking about this situation via Bugzilla, but surely you'll agree this does not solve the actual problem at all.
To give this a positive spin: A lot of Gwenview's bugs are low hanging fruit and ideal to get started with developing for KDE. Just let us know if you are interested in writing a patch, we can certainly help you getting started with the process.
I was just providing a bit of context. This ticket is far from being alone. Don't hold your breath. "do it yourself" is such a common answer ! > "do it yourself" is such a common answer !
The common answer is "send a patch". Note that is said "I'm willing to mentor someone in writing the patch and get it approved, even if this takes me much more time than just implementing it myself", which is different.
Allow me to echo Henrik's sentiments. I've also found a lot of low-hanging fruit and getting started isn't too hard. We would be happy to help you dip your toes in. Also, on this subject: "do it yourself" is such a common answer !" Yup. That's how a volunteer-driven community works! If you want something done, the best way is to do it yourself. We'd be happy to help you get set up to do this, if you're interested. |
