I want to have the pictures displayed in the alphabetic filenames order, but the applet continues to play them in the random order, despite the check box "Randomize items" cleared. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create 5 files named 1.png, 2.png, 3.png 4.png, 5.png in the directory test. For example, with imagemagick convert -background lightblue -fill blue -pointsize 72 label:111 1.png 2. add this directory in mediaframe paths 3. uncheck "Randomize items" Actual Results: Images are displayed in random order Expected Results: MediaFrame should played in this order : 1.png 2.png 3.png 4.png 5.png
Hi I just tried to reproduce it and for me it seems to work. I have kdeplasma-addons 5.7.5 installed. Does this problem still occur to you?
Here, this issue still occurs :( The workaround is to add each file one by one in the right order.
Ahh, I found the root of the issue. It's not that the random setting gets ignored. The problem is that the files are not added to the list in alphabetical order, but for me it was in inverse creation order. I assume more precisely it's inverse whatever-order-the-filesystem-returns. So for directories that have seen lots of changes it could also be some order that appears random. But as long as nobody touches that directory it will always be the same. I can see the use of reading the files in alphabetical order. Would be nice to have. But that makes it a bit more difficult.
Created attachment 101255 [details] sort contents of directories alphabetically Attached a patch that makes directory contents added alphabetically.
Cannot reproduce; looks like this was fixed.
