file import order	Can't Post

another problem requiring solution is the file import order. Isadora does not check file names..which means that it jumbles up a sequence of photographs and ruins any chance of spontaneity, as importing 600 photos in a sequence gives you at least an hour of sorting to do after import.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hmmmm... I just tested this and it did sort the items into alphabetical order. Are you on Mac OS or Windows?

Best,
Mark

I am importing pictures straight from the camera. unfortunately it labels them something like CFX112357, the three letters being the same for all the photos and numbers differing.

izzy mumbles up the numbers order?!

instead of 1, 2, 3, it goes 8, 4, 9 or something screwing up the sequence and rendering it unusable for my purpose.

i can send the patch if you like, and a few photos for testing purposes.

Well the importing process should sort the files in ascending alphanumeric order. I will check this program to ensure this is the case.

Best,
Mark
