--- Comment #2 from Dante Igashu <veritas.scientia.volun...@outlook.com> --- Hello Nate Graham! Okay, no problem, I will try to explain it in a way that makes it clear by being more explicit: As I mentioned I have my wallpapers in different folders, in order to arrange them in categories, like "Anime", "City"..."Nature", etc, because I wanted the wallpapers to be "played" in the order the folders are arranged, in this case in alphabetical order, but I also wanted the images inside each folder to be read in alphabetical order, so the first folder would get all its images read first, then the second would get all its images read and so on. In this case, with the "Slideshow" plug-in included in Plasma, it kind of does the job, the problem is that it doesn't seem to take in consideration the "categories", in this case the folders, it just takes all the images from all the folders, puts them together as if there were no folders (categories) and it sorts them all together as if there was just one folder. Now, the arrangement of the images seems to have limitations too, so to explain this point I have to mention that some of my folders have already reached more than 1000 images and I decided to name them in a numerical way, 001,002, etc, and as I recently just reached 1000 in one folder, once that happened I noticed that the images >= 1000 get sorted in a way I wasn't expecting, instead of following the sequence from 999, it jumps back to 0 it seems, as 1000 is read as 100, apparently considering just the first three digits from left to right so 1000 is read as 100 and zero or 100-0 and because of that, it places the 1001, 1002, etc in the same spot where the actually named 100 images but seems to do something like "oh! there's another number after 100, it is a zero", and 1000 is next to 100 and then it says "this is 100-1, 100-2, etc", then it reaches the real 101 images and for the 1010's images it says "oh! this one has a 101 too" when it is actually a 1010, so it places them together with the 101 images and apparently it considers them to be something like "oh! this is image 101-0, and this 101-1, and this 101-2..." instead of 1010, 1011, 1012.... So, as you may be imagining now, it is "chaos" in there and all my sorting just gets wasted by converting it in to a clutter (LOL). I checked the Merge Request you mentioned, and it seems it would actually solve the problem for me, but the way it is displayed in the menu, as it is mentioned there, seems to be kind of unnecessary for most users and I am able to see why, it seems to "violate" the KISS approach, yet, it seems to be really useful for people like me but it doesn't seem that they would actually add all that stuff in the official release. Wish that guy had made a plug-in that we could download somewhere. In my case I may just use the option that seems to be the "By folder and file name". I guess I may try by renaming files and see if I can obtain the result I want. The options mentioned in the merge request seem to be actually useful for some of us though. THANKS Nate Graham! and I hope there's is a way that merge request, or at least part of it, can be added. HAVE A GREAT DAY! :D -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
