Description Simon 2013-10-12 14:01:18 UTC

I have set my importer to sort by date, flat list. Whenever I restart digikam, I have to change some of the sorting options (e.g. switch from ascending to descending or back) until images are sorted by date again and not displayed randomly (or perhaps randomly?).

This bug is present since around version 4.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Simon 2013-10-12 14:02:10 UTC

edit – since version 3. Digikam 2.x did not have this problem.

Comment 2 Teemu Rytilahti 2013-12-02 15:05:14 UTC

I can confirm this. The settings are saved properly, but on load the change is not being propagated properly. The relevant code is in digikam/utilities/importui/main/importui.cpp's setupActions().

The naming of sorting functions/variables is a bit odd here, "Sorty by x" calls view's slotSortImages(), but the current item is read from ImportSettings::instance()->getImageSortOrder(). For ascending/descending the call goes to slotSortImagesOrder() and the value is read from getImageSorting(). Perhaps those are mixed or should there be separate calls for setting the values on load? I'd suggest renaming those variables nevertheless if possible. SortBy and SortOrder would be better names :-)
