Custom Folder Sort order did not get saved in .XnViewSort

Post by tajinoxn »

As of XnView MP 1.12.1 and earlier, in custom sort mode, you can drag and drop a folder to a new sort location, but the .XnViewSort does not save folder entries, once F5 refresh, the folder sort are reverted.

Folders should be included in the .XnViewSort file, if I manually edited the .XnViewSort by adding folder names in the order list, save the .XnViewSort and F5 refresh in XnViewMP browser, the Folders order did get custom sorted, but if any sort order changes is made in the browser, when .XnViewSort is updated by XnView, the manually added folder names entries are lost of course.

edited .XnViewSort example

Code: Select all

The .XnViewSort custom sort reading and application part is already there, just that it needs to write it when user manually reorder folders.

Hope you can implement this custom sorting for folders. Thanks.
