How to sort items in the Tree Pane by Date

Post by johnkard »

It is of high value to me to be able to sort the folders shown in the "Folders" tab of the Tree Pane by date instead of lexicographically.

Is this easily done?

... But, still a good idea. It will be interesting, for the future, to also have into the DB the "EXIF taken date" (as option) especially for the MP version to be able to easy build an other Tree Pane sorted by Date ;-)

a sample here:
http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/v ... nformation

Code: Select all

exiftool '-Directory<DateTimeOriginal' -d %Y/%m/%d dir

Move all images in a directory into a directory hierarchy based on year, month and day based on exif information
This command would move the file "dir/image.jpg" with a "DateTimeOriginal" of "2005:10:12 16:05:56" to "2005/10/12/image.jpg".
This is a literal example from the exiftool man page, very useful for classifying photo's. The possibilities are endless.

Pas possible? Domage!

I can offer what little free-time I have to work on the problem if anybody is willing to consider taking up the challenge.
