Package: f-spot
Version: 0.3.0-1
Severity: normal

The "Arrange by" menu behaves erratically in 0.3.0.

- When starting up F-Spot, both "Month" and "Folder" are selected,
  even though they look like radio-buttons.  Expected behaviour: only
  one should be selected.

- Clicking on one of these radio-buttons then deselects the
  corresponding entry BUT the actual sorting order is the deselected
  one, with an inconsistency between the radiobuttons as displayed and
  the result.  Expected behaviour: make sure the one I clicked is the
  one that gets selected and used.

- Next clicks behave okay.

The oh-so-inappropriately-named "Reverse order" menu item is also
behaving very strangely.  Upon startup, the checkbox is checked here
(as well as both radio-buttons), and pictures are sorted in forward
chronological order (the most natural one if you ask me).

- When clicking on "Arrange by month", the photos stay sorted in
  forward chronological order, but the wrong radio-button gets
  checked.  Clicking again on "Arrange by month" then checks the
  "month" radio-button, and pictures get sorted backwards.  The
  "Reverse order" checkbox is still checked.

- Clicking on "Reverse order" unticks the checkbox, pictures stay
  ordered backwards.

- Clicking on "Reverse order" again ticks the checkbox again, and
  photos get displayed in forward chronological order.

Expected behaviours:

- radio-buttons and checkboxes should be consistent with the actual
  sorting order (and with the usual "one-and-only-one checked
  radio-button at any time");

- one should not have to fiddle *four times* with the "View" menu on
  startup to get one's preferred sorting order;

Related suggestions:

- rename "Arrange by month" to "Arrange by chronological order";

- rename "Reverse order" to "Forward order", since it's what actually
  happens;

- maybe simpler: remove the confusing "Reverse order" checkbox, and
  add a radio-button instead, so the "Arrange by" sub-menu would have
  three entries, "folder", "chronological order" and "reverse
  chronological order".  Maybe add a "reverse folder" if needed, but I
  don't see the point.
