Thumbnails & .XnViewSort

Post by Zheitk »

a) A button to rebuild missing thumbnails http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=26330
  • I don't know what the "rebuild thumbnails" and "refresh" do, they seem to do nothing in this case :P
b) A button (maybe the same one) to sort the thumbnails to the default (by filename in my case)
  • In fact, I don't remember if there's an option to set a default order...
c) Deprecate the ".XnViewSort" file and use a database instead

oh my... :shock:, should I have posted this in the "MP Testing - Feedback" didn't I?. If that's the case, ¿how could I move this (and another 6 posts :mrgreen:)?

A bug

You have order by filename
c) Deprecate the ".XnViewSort" file and use a database instead
Why? :)

A bug indeed T_T, but you can tell me then what those actions are supposed to do (without taking into account the bug)

If the pics were moved (or newly added, those are sent at the bottom of the browser) it would be useful to "refresh"O_o? the browser view (rearrange by filename) with just one button, as right now you have to select the "sort-by" menu, then the "Name" or preferred order, and then (maybe) the ascending or descending way, then another one to rebuild missing thumbnails...
... thinking about it, clicking the sort-by button (the green arrows, not the little triangle) does nothing, So It would be useful to let the user bind some actions to it (like sort-by preferred order and rebuild thumbnails in the same button ñ_ñ, (and maybe delete .XnViewSort if present, see below))

Just a recommendation, not really important... I used to really hate those bastards Thumbs.db in windows XP :twisted:

PD: thanks for listening to the users, I tested so many similar softwares and find some Ideas that I would like to see in future versions of xnview, So I feel happy using it ñ_ñ
