Hello all,
I have looked at this forum site and several other places, but there is as far as I can tell no way of doing this currently in Kodi:
Simply put I want to set the sort order for folders and pictures independently:
-Sort folders alphabetically
-Sort pictures on date taken
I can do either or, but not both.
Kodi now has a date sorting, but it then sorts the folders by creation date.
I can sort all alphabetically, but then my pictures are not in chronological order.
The background is that I (and many others) organize pictures in folders that are named Date-Topic, e.g. "2018-06-17 Holiday Greece". I haven't necessarily created the folders in date order, so to view them in "chronological" order I need them sorted alphabetically.
Within each folder there are pictures from several cameras and smartphones, each with their own naming convention. I don't want to bother touching the names, but use the date sorting to view them in chronological order.
Most viewers and photo editors have this ability to set the sort-order for folders and images separately. So I am lead to believe this is a common problem. I hope someone can add this to the Picture add on! and make Kodi from 99% to 100% awesome!
Kind regards,
Bert
