Description Alexandre Belz 2019-06-16 14:30:01 UTC

SUMMARY
New picture is badly placed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. in the Thumbnail view
2. Set an album in Manual item ordering
3. chose a picture inside an album
4. Edit the picture, and Save as a new file
5. Close the editor and go back in the Thumbnail album viewer.

OBSERVED RESULT
the new picture is NOT located near the original, but somewhere at the top of the album. This is not logical.


EXPECTED RESULT
The newly Edited picture should be located next to the original picture.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Manual sorting is usefull to order the Album in a logical/narrative order.

It will be difficult to find a common denominator here, the new item has not yet undergone manual sorting and the current fallback is the creation date due to this bug 408095. Fallback by filename would definitely be the better choice.

Ok Maik,
Before going back to filename sorting, i need to keep current ordering of my album.
is there a way to rename the pictures of an album in increasing filename ?
(I give the root name and the the program adds an increasing value).

Comment 3 Maik Qualmann 2019-06-16 19:43:21 UTC

select files-> Rename (F2)-> type: newName-####

Comment 4 Maik Qualmann 2019-06-16 19:45:29 UTC

To keep the name: [file]-####

Comment 5 Alexandre Belz 2019-06-17 21:18:54 UTC

OK, thank you Maik, the rename menu is indeed very powerful.
Good ! 
I'll easily move to filename ordering .

You can close this bug if Digikam team can't improve manual sorting capabilities.
