Phoenix2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hello, I have a problem with the sorting of files in daminion. >> Please have a look at the attached image "Daminion-Sorting.jpg" You can see a sample folder with images in daminion, that are sorted by "file name". But not all images are sorted. Instead, there seem to be "two groups of sorted images" after each other: Group 1: First file (006.jpg) until the second file in the second row (Wassergarten Einblick.jpg) are sorted correctly. But then there starts a "new sort group": Group 2: Third file in second row (bodin-gartengestaltung-heilsbronn-514-b53cfea3.jpg) until the last file (zengarten3.jpg) >> Please have a look at the attached image "File-Explorer.jpg" Here you can see the same folder opened in my regular file explorer, correctly sorted. ============================= I have this problem with several folders in daminion. I am using Windows 7. What could be the reason for this strange behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmith1 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I have noticed in the past that sorting by Filename is case sensitive in Daminion. I believe that explains your observations as well. I would like to have an option to turn case sensitivity on and off. We do not need or want that, but I can certainly understand that some people might need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks for your answer! I never noticed this before, but you are absolutely right: There are always first the upper-case filenames, sorted A-Z, followed by the lower-case filenames, sorted a-z. I never saw such a sort-order before in a media-management software or file manager. There definitely should be a option to turn case sensitivity off! (perhaps even as default setting).

Mammut Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 It's funny that there is unnecessary case sensitivity at the sorting, but there is no case sensitivity at the tags where sometimes it would be really useful (it's an old request there but unfortunately didn't get enough support from the users).

Phoenix2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hello, will the "sorting-bug" (sorting by filename is case sensitive - see above) be fixed in one of the new versions of daminion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Sure. I've registered this bug (#3056) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 This bug is very annoying! Everytime I browse through a folder to find a file with a filename, I have to look in the sorted block with "big letters" AND in the sorted block with "small letters". Please fix as soon as possible. Otherwise, this is a great software! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
