Description Joe Ogulin 2009-03-25 05:54:39 UTC
Version:           0.10.0-0.16.rc1.fc10 (using KDE 4.2.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

The default sort order of the listed pictures in a camera is now the most recent first.  This is bad for the following reasons:

1) It's immutable
2) If you have duplicate filenames that you are downloading into an album, it can take a long time before you hit the first potential duplicate filename... a situation that will happen if you want to download images from multiple memory cards

Can you please put in an option to allow for a sort order?  This change was a surprise to me and is making me pull out what little hair I have left because of item 2 in my list of bad reasons for doing this.  I recently photographed an event and used two separate cards... and several photos ended up with identical filenames (Nikon D80).  When I try to import them into the same album, I start with the first card and get pictures DSC_0001.JPG through DSC_0301.JPG.  When I switch to the second card, I have to download DSC_0110.JPG through DSC_0433.JPG.  Because of this new sort order, it's a long time before I get to the duplicate filenames.

SVN commit 980179 by cgilles:

apply patch from Simone Lazzaris to change sort of camera icon view item : in chronological order or not.
Factorize code.
Bug fix : there is a race condition between camera gui and camera controler when thumbnails are processed:
camera controller switch randomly between busy state or not when camera gui fill the list of item thumbs to get one by one.
A new method fill all thumbs to get in a first time : camera controler will be still busy during this task.
