Sort by Subfolder, then Filename
Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2024 5:19 pm
(I'm surprised I didn't find this suggestion - did I miss an existing option?)
Use Case:
I have a photo collection sorted by theme, in subfolders.
I want to view them in exactly the order as they are on disk.
Problem:
When I click "Show subfolders", all files are sorted by filename; typically in chronological order.
It's the same issue when you have 5 sessions with files named 0001...0100.
Solution:
Have an option "Sort by subfolder, then filename" somewhere. Or make it the default behaviour? (I never ever want to see subfolders sorted by filename only).
Order should be
/A/1.jpg
/A/2.jpg
/B/1.jpg
/B/2.jpg
(NOT 1 1 2 2)
Bonus points:
I would like to navigate with the cursor keys. <> next previous file, ^v next previous dir
