--- Comment #21 from Andrew Shark <ash...@linuxcomp.ru> ---
The current title of the bug "gwenview ignores settings in initial sort order"
confuses people. We are talking about two separate issues here. The first is
that somebody wants to disable the thing that gwenview follows the order in
dolphin (even currently partly broken, see Bug 466836). I will rename current
bug to keep track on this problem, because OP wanted that.
The second is not related to Dolphin at all, about not applied sorting when
entering to folder from Home page - Bug 464959

Generally, users expect Gwenview to follow the sorting order of the place from
where it was opened (Dolphin).

You said you hardly use Dolphin, but still you use it to open your folder. If
you do not need Dolphin, why don't you just launch Gwenview from start menu? It
has a Home page, which also has a Recent folders.

And what is the problem then? You open first image in your random folder and it
is opened in Gwenview.

Yes.

See 464959.

As said above, yes there should be an option to not follow dolphin sorting when
clicked image. Also, it will not be really "following Dolphin", but "following
.directory file".
@Andrew + @Thomas Capricelli

See 464959.
@Christoph Cullmann + @Thomas Capricelli
Depending on the way you launch, see one of all mentioned bugs.

I am not shure. What if you want to open several images and go to another
folder? What if you want to do some basic things like image rotation?
@Jörg
> Gwenview should not depend on any setting in a file manager.
As said above, it is not a Dolphin setting. It is a setting from .directory
file.
