Sort files by: Same as folder

[Auxdoozy]

Windows photo viewer displays images in the same order as they are in the folder. Is there anyway for qView to do the same?

This is because some folders are sorted by date while others are sorted by name, so being able to scroll through images in the same order that they are presented within each specific folder would be ideal.

Any update on this?

Right click in the image view qView, Tools>Settings>Miscellaneous>Sort files by. And select the desired item

I'm not sure you understand my request. The issue is some folders are sorted by name while others by date. So to accurately browse each folders contents you would need to change the settings in qView each time, which obviously isn't an ideal solution. Instead I'm requesting an option for qView to automatically sort by the same order that is in the folder.

This suggestion makes sense, but it would definitely require extensive platform-specific code and we might not be able to make it work in all cases (e.g. linux without KDE or Gnome)

Fair enough, thanks for the reply. In that case is there anyway you could apply it just for the windows version? As a long time Windows photo viewer user this is the only feature that I've struggled with since making the switch, apart from that qview is brilliant and better in every way!

I would definitely consider it but there is a long backlog of stuff I need to get to + I have basically no free time at the moment. Maybe in the future!

Just some thought: if the app can remember the sort order on a per folder basis It could be easier to be implemented cross-platform? I am using macOS.
