Re: Photo sorting #bug ?

Sorry, Margo. I was typing my suggestion just as you were typing your explanation. Here's what you can try:
Copy the name <2023challenge_week12.jpg> from week 12 picture and paste it as the name of your week 13 picture. Don't retype but copy and paste and see if that works. -- ____________ Jeannette B. |

Re: Photo sorting #bug ?

Yes Marilyn only it's an underbar instead of a dash.? But otherwise you are correct.? I not only double-checked it, I also retyped it and it still won't go in the correct order.
?
The actual order that is there now is?
?
2023challenge_week1.jpg through 2023challenge_week12.jpg
?
Then 2023challenge_week14.jpg through 2023challenge_week21.jpg
?
Then 2023challenge_week13.jpg followed by 2023challenge_week22.jpg
?
Week #13 is the one out of order
?
This is inside an album.
?
I know at the Photos level it will alphabetize the albums A to Z or 00-99 and A to Z.? Inside an album it won't do that even though I choose Name up or down.
?
Sincerely,
?

Are you saying that photos are named and sorted like the following?
?
2023challenge-week13.jpg
2023challenge-week15.jpg
2023challenge-week14.jpg
?
If so, that certainly looks like a bug.

I kind of agree with Chris, but a new problem could popup if one wanted to insert a picture between 01 and 02. One good aspect of the old Y Groups photo albums I really liked, was the abbility to 'reorder' the pictures in an album by simply moving them around with a mouse. If a person wanted to move picture 03 in between 01 and 02, then a simple drag and drop was all that was needed. Numerical or alphabetical naming did not matter.

I forgot that a colon (and % IIRC) in a photograph name stops anyone from downloading it; they will get a 404 error instead. Spaces in photo names are perfectly all right. Chris? |

It almost works, but only almost. Having done some tests I have found that for (say) an album of photographs numbered 01: to some larger number to slot in an additional photo between (say) existing photos 08 and 09 then the "a" suffix has to be added to the second number, in this example 09a not 08a. The suffixed number will appear before its unsuffixed* relative. As to Margo's numbering scheme (2023challenge-week13.jpg) IMHO that is inordinately cumbersome. If the year is of relevance than is it not better to incorporate it into an Album?name? In addition the "serial number" is effectively buried in the middle of the name. I accept that it is a matter of personal?preference but numbering photos 01 to whatever looks much tidier. * I think I just invented a new word... :)? Chris? |

If you want to insert a new photo between "photo 1" and "photo 2", try naming the photo you want to insert "photo 1a".? That works for inserting photos in Windows directories and getting them in the order you want .? It might work for albums on Groups.IO, too.? ???

If you have 25 photos already listed as 01 to 25 then any new addition is going to be 26 unless you do some extensive work. And yes it can be is tedious... Chris.? |

Photo sorting #bug ?

[Subject enhanced by moderator]
Hi all, ?
Is anyone else having a problem getting items to sort correctly in an album?? I have the items within an album numbered and had to add one out of sequence but can't find a way for the album to put it in sequential order.
?
I've tried clicking on Name up and down, Posted up and down and Taken up and down and nothing puts it in the correct order - just one item is out of whack.
?
I've even edited it and retyped the name to make sure there were no spaces, etc. in it to throw it out of sequence.
?
Is that a bug or am I doing something incorrectly?
?
Sincerely,
?

Bulk change status?
In a group I manage, many old time members are set as moderated due to some
changes way back when. They should really be Use Group Moderation Setting as a year or two ago I corrected things so it used the New Member Moderated for N messages and then (I think) changing to Use Group Moderation Setting. But all these old timers shouldn't be Moderated anymore. Can I do a bulk change? I see I can filter by they status, but can I make a click or two and change everyone on the list? -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.com www.syracusemodelrr.org |
