Having them apart from the regular categories makes sense. I've implemented this now, more or less. To me, the specific ordering of Folder, Media Type, Tokens is not that important, as long as it's consistent (and everybody will have their own idea about the best ordering). > It might be sensible to sort the non-category items according to importance. > (I usually navigate on autopilot by screen position without reading the sub > titles.) > > The single most important by far is "show thumbnails" - that should always > be at the end to be easiest to find. > I often use "Folder", "Tokens" and "Search", rarely "Exif Info" and "Media > Type", almost never "untagged" and "Geo Position" - others may have > different preferences. The last sentence is the key takeaway. One can't find the "right" ordering for everyone, apart from "Show Thumbnails" being the most important one. I did try to have the ordering make some sense, though: 1. regular category things 2. special category things 3. strange behaving things 4. things that switch to thumbnail view In any case, sorting this differently from what it was (by chance) before upsets the muscle memory. So it makes sense to try to invest some time to do it well (and avoid having to change it again a year down the line). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
