Package: rapid-photo-downloader
Version: 0.4.11-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

rpd sorts the files to import incorrectly, resulting in file numbering that
isn't chronological (with respect to the files to import). Its internally used
modification time, which files are sorted by, is only accurate to full
seconds. I checked this by printing the filename and modification time in
scan.py.
"touch"-ing all files in (filename) order and sleeping at least one second in
between calls makes rpd sort them correctly.

Usually, this isn't really a problem when photos are downloaded from a memory
card directly. If you bulk-copy them to a different directory first, it's
easily triggered, though. On the other hand I can see how the same behaviour
might come about with cameras with high framerates and photos shot in burst
mode.

Hope this can be fixed somehow as it is a little annoying.


Cheers,
  Chris
