[Bug 236249] New: wish: custom sort in album view

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236249

           Summary: wish: custom sort in album view
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Custom sorting is a useful feature not available in digikam.
Combined with batch renaming, custom sorting of pictures and movies allow to
keep the desired sorting regardless of which viewer is used.

I manage photos from different cameras and wish to have them sorted by exif
date. These pictures, along with movies which do not have exif timestamps, are
manually sorted and then uploaded to an online photo album. The windows
freeware FSViewer (http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm) allows to
custom sort images and batch rename them.

This is the one feature stopping me from using digiKam for managing my
pictures. Thanks!

How/where does FSViewer store the order resulting from manual sorting?

Btw: I'm sure there is a very old bug report already about this topic.

FSViewer adds a "fssort.ini" file to each folder which has a manual sort.
The files are just one filename per line, in the order sorted.

I'm sure there is a better way of doing it, but it would be a good start!

Yes, to add manual sort of items in icon view will be a killer feature.

I mark this file as duplicate of 91562

Marcel,

I Forget to mention some words about ini file : do not use this way in digiKam
(:=))). use DB of course, or at least a mordern way to host info in text file :
XML.

I have come to think about this feature as "playlist" or, in its extended form,
"presentation mode".
XML is probably best suited to represent it, be the XML stored in a file or in
the database.
But, for this summer, we already have three large projects from GSoC.

XML file can be fine for physical albums... but not for Virtual album. So for
me, hosting these information in DB is the best way.
