When I File/Open Diagram, the file list is in a strange order, I do not know where this is set, but it cannot be changed. alphabetic order would be nice. also an option to omit hidden files. Would also save effort if it remembered where it was last time.

I'm not seeing that - could you send me a jpg file?

How are hidden files marked - is this different in *nix and Windows?

Good idea!

Guess what. when I tried again it worked fine. Previously the location of the JavaFBP jar file had not been set. Locate the DrawFBP Help file does however exhibit the issue. Could be just a set up thing. Might just need a FAQ, but the order is perplexing to me. Adding that thing to click the columns to change order would give flexibility. Nix file starting with '.' are hidden.

I can suppress files starting with a period.

However your sequencing problem doesn't show up on my system (Win 7). I use the Collections.sort function in Java with my own comparator, to merge upper and lower case names. I suspect that this doesn't work (consistently?) in *nix Java implementation... I am trying out String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER as suggested in a StackOverflow post - and will make a copy available to you - probably tomorrow.

Could you take a look at the file lists in this version and let me know if there is a change? There is a pre-release jar file in https://github.com/jpaulm/drawfbp/releases/tag/v2.13.6 . TIA

Looks similar to me. Removing the dot file may not be a good idea as they are valid in linux.

Sorry, posted my request to wrong conversation!

Hi David, could you try the sort sequence test again using

https://github.com/jpaulm/drawfbp/releases/download/v2.13.6/drawfbp-2.13.6.jar

I have dropped the sort altogether - doesn't seem to work for you, but it may not be necessary anyway! Thanks!

Paul

I think I restored the dot files - have they come back? Also do you see upper and lowercase intermingled or separate?

Thx,

Paul M.
