Please add sort by filename or date taken to FOLDERS!

The randomness of the order of photos in folders drives me nuts! This was an easy option to sort in Picasa. For those of us that have spent time numbering and pre-sorting our photos in some order, please let us see them in that order! I get that the Event tab is somewhat setup for this but it’s way too small and you can’t scroll through it using the keyboard (-mouse wheel- yes but finger cramps!)
Otherwise good job and it’s my only real complaint.

hitme21 That is true that tere is no option to chose sorting type, but files are actually sorted by date in folders. What makes you thing they are not? Can you please show some examples?

I realize the “date in the folders” files are sorted by is by the last date the file was saved or the modified date. If you edit any photos and resave them this changes the order. When I look at them in folders they can be somewhat randomized. I sort my photos by “date taken” then use that to create a filename so they are in chronological order.

Regarding Events Tab and scrolling, I figured out I didn’t click on a photo first to highlight it. Then when I used the keyboard arrows to scroll -the screen went black. Going forward I will click and highlight a photo first.

Thanks.

If you edit oustide of Tonfotos while Tonfotos is open, and this folder is displayed, then yes, changed files will be added to the end for better user experience. However, when you navigate out and then return, files will be sorted by date again, but not by last modified date. It will be sorted by creation date, if exists obviously. Not every file has creation date in metadata.
