Numbering By Folder Weird Functionality.

Postby f.lamingo » Fri Nov 01, 2024 5:38 pm

I wanted to order my files in the BRU Viewer by Alphabetical order and then Number my files using "Numbering (10)" with Folder checked.

This does not behave the way I expect. I have to order the file list by subdir column for the numbering by folder functionality to work.

If files ordered by name column, then by folder numbering doesn't work (I have subfolders checked under filters for this to problem to occur of course)

for example:

Start file Names:
A.txt /folder1
B.txt /folder2
C.txt /folder2
D.txt /folder1

gets renamed to:
A1.txt /folder1
B1.txt /folder2
C2.txt /folder2
D1.txt /folder1


I expected d.txt to become d2.txt but this is not the case.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if this is intended but seems strange to me. This wouldn't be an issue if the name column sorted alphabetically automatically as a secondary sort when I select subdir column, but this is not the case. seems to be random as far as I can tell.
