Bonjour
First I apologize for my English
I am new with using Tonfotos and a bite lost due to the lack of user guide or even some basic information.
One thing I need to understand is the way Tonfos is sorting the images in the different folders which then lead to how the images are shown in the slideshow sequence
It seems to be by date/time when the image has been created…but not only…
I have been mixing in the same folder pictures taken by 3 different cameras used on the same event (a wedding event).
In Windows, images are perfectly sorted through the time of creation (local time) and slideshow is showing things one after the other in de right order.
In Tonfotos it is a mix of groups of pictures. Within each group the pictures are shown in the correct order but the groups themselves are not in the correct sequence.
I also noticed that some groups are belonging to 2 cameras (correctly mixing their pictures) while the other groups are all belonging to the 3rd camera.
I then looked into the Exif data of pictures from the 3 cameras: they all show correct create date/time but one camera (more sophisticated) is showing additional Exif data: a “gps time stamp (UTC)” and also some “Offset time” Exif tags.
In my opinion it is this 3rd camera which is providing pictures not merging correctly to the others one
It seems to me that Tonfotos is using (when available) either Exif GPS time data or TimeZone adjustment data or Summer/Winter shift data to adjust the “Created Date/Time” only for the purpose of sorting the pictures
Could someone explain to me “the mystery” of the sorting method of Tonfotos wich in my case is causing a very serious issue as I did not found yet any sort parameters in Tonfotos to get pictures arranged in each folder just simply by the time they have been taken?
Merci
Alain
