Hi J-Luc,
         On my system DT sorts correctly. I have tested this on two 
different windows computers.

Hi Jean-Luc,
       I am using DT on a windows computer and I followed your
instructions and could not replicate your issue. Even after
closing and restarting DT it kept the same sort settings for me.
I am not sure if anyone else can replicate your problem. Knowing
the OS and DT version may help. Good luck.

Hello,

The online help does not say aynthing about this :

 1. on the top of the window, select a sorting order (for
instance : full path)
 2. in the left panel, go to Collections and select what to
filter on
 3. double-click on to the collections that are displayed in
the list
 4. the sorting order is reset to its original kind (in my
case : name)

So each time I have to go and select again Full path.
Is there a way to lock the selection ?

Rgrds,

Hello Terry,

Indeed. Focused on describing as accurately as possible, and again
forgot to give details about OS and dt.😬
So : dt 4.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.
Here are screenshots :
Step 1- set sort order


Steps 3- to 4- (1: to 3: on the screenshots)...


If you confirm it does not behave this way on your system, I will
open an issue.

Rgrds,

J.-Luc


OK, so time for a bug report.

Rgrds,

J.-Luc

yes, that I do not consider it a feature does not mean someone else does
not desire it.

bigest thing for me is the additional icon taking space where a toggle
would suffice.

your efforts are much appreciated.

as a very long time user, I feel that much has been added and complexity
of the display/user interface grown immensely.  and I speak as a rank
amateur.

Just a note, it had been removed in a first iteration while rewriting
the lighttable and after discussion some people were using the zoomable
lighttable and so it was re-implemented too. Just to emphasis that the
fact one do not use a feature does not mean that this feature is not
useful. We have a large base of users with many different usage and
workflows.

And after all what the issue? This feature is mostly hidden (a single
icon top center of lighttable) for users and will never bother people
not wanting it. So why removing it? It will ease a bit the maintenance
of course, but that's not a user issue.

Only intrusive features that user's will have to face all the time is
to be thought more deeply to see if the "pain" for some people is a
global gain for the project or not.

appears he has, and also appears there is no longer the "zoomable"
feature, in my opinion "A Good Thing".  cannot say I ever felt the need to
use that ?feature?.

Are you shure Aurelien did not eliminate this out of his fork?
