I've noticed that when I use the HTML Album Export plugin from
kipi-plugins (0.1.0.r1_3,1) with digikam (0.8.1_2) that the output is
not sorted properly, either by date or filename.
After some investigation I've found out why. My camera (Canon Powershot
A70) reuses the "holes" left by deleted files on the CF card if there
are any so, for example, I take 4 pictures, delete the second, then take
2 more pictures. The pictures are stored 1 5 3 4 6 and that is the order
they appear in digikam when connected to the camera and also the order
in which digikam d/ls them from the camera.
This isn't a problem in digikam itself as you can choose the sort order
in the display window, but the files are stored in the digikam.db files
in d/l order - 1 5 3 4 6 - and the HTML Album Export seems to use the
order in digikam.db when creating the HTML index page.
There appears to be no way to change the order that HTML Album Export
uses and the only workaround I've come up with is to create a new album,
display the pictures in the desired sort order, then copy them to the
new album - digikam appears to copy them in the order they are sorted.
Is this a bug? It seems that either pictures should be sorted by date or
filename when creating the HTML index page or, better still, you should
be able to choose the sort order. Either that, or digikam should save
the filenames in digikam.db in date or name order.
Regards,
Mark
