Make natural sort unncessary #17

Closed technopagan closed 10 years ago

technopagan commented 11 years ago

In several places, we are relying on "sort -V" to sort out file / tile processing order.

While this is convenient, it breaks OSX compatibility (although that is a minor concern) and causes additional processing time.

If we made sure that ALL naming schemes for all tiles created during Adept runtime would be sorted perfectly without additional sorting afterwards, we could increase compatibility and cut down processing time.

Tried a lot of different approaches, but as we have no true control over the user input filename, we cannot rely on any keys within the filename to sort by. So e.g. "sort -t_ -k3.1n" is no help.

What we need is a proper replacement for "sort -V" that is completely agnostic.

This is now fixed since we are using a continuous number iteration instead of rows + tiles for numbering. We are not using sort at all now.
