Sometimes I need to change sorting of files in XNView MP (1.8.6 Linux .deb) file browser yet I prefer image viewer (when i doubleclick image to view in a full screen) to display always alphabetically. I continuously forget to switch back to alphabetical.
I think that I have been told it is not possible to separate browser and viewer sorting, which is bad.
So I have set alphabetical sorting in browser, yet when i double-click image to open viewer and hit arrows left/right, it displays different images than the browser.
Browser under green arrows icon (sorting) has sorting by "Name", "Ascending", "Name - Alphabetic order". I have tried also other combinations of alphabetic orders but without the luck.
When I go to settings, search for "sort", there is "File list" page, where is ticked only "Folder always sorted alphabetically" in Sorting section. I have also tried various combinations here.
File names does not seem to contain any special characters.
UPDATE: I have just noticed that the image files are missing extension.
