Slideshow Ordering Enhancement, Feature Request #128

Closed andyfrei closed 4 years ago

andyfrei commented 4 years ago

Hey there regarding the ordering of the medias in the slideshow, I can see A-Z and random. Is there any option to sort by date taken/date original or even better sort by date taken, if that date is not present use date of creation or last changed date to sort the slideshow? Cheers ##Andy

Hi Andy, if you start the slideshow from the FileSystem browser, then the slideshow will attempt to order the photos in whatever order is currently configured in the FileSystem Browser. There is a button in the upper-right corner for sorting, by default it reads AZ^ but it can be changed to "Sort by date created"; slideshow launched from the browser will then honor this setting.

Is this acceptable please?

the slideshow will attempt to order the photos

The problem are nested folders - PhotoCloud could either scan a complete folder structure, then sort the files, then start showing the slideshow, but that could potentially cause a huge initial delay. Therefore I've used an alternative approach to start the slideshow as soon as possible, showing photos from the root folder first, even if there is a newer photo in the subfolder.
