browse searchresult in exact order of dirs/path/filenames?

Post by loth »

hi helpers :-)

how to set the sorting options (or any else), if i'd like to browse the searchresults (ctrl+f,enter,enter) in the exact order of the directories/pathnames/filenames, the files are found?

i don't see any way to do that.

în other words, i'd like to browse the pictures in the same order, as if they were found on the harddrives.

So you want 'sort by path (directory>filename)' option, not just 'sort by filename' right?

E.g.:

D:\Pictures\Animals\Wolf1.jpg
D:\Pictures\Animals\Wolf2.jpg
D:\Pictures\Cars\BMW1.jpg
D:\Pictures\Cars\BMW2.jpg

and you don't want this:

BMW1.jpg
BMW2.jpg
Wolf1.jpg
Wolf2.jpg

but this:

Wolf1.jpg
Wolf2.jpg
BMW1.jpg
BMW2.jpg

I think it's not possible.

I support this request ('sort by path' option). Path could be shown also in result file list, in details view maybe.
