Proposed patch (against HEAD). (1.32 KB, patch)

Description Juan Rial 2005-06-24 03:47:17 UTC
Version details: Applies to older versions as well
Distribution/Version: Debian/Sarge

Select multiple files or folders, copy them to a different folder. You'll notice
that if you selected files, they will be copied in reverse alphabetical order,
independent of the order in which they were selected. If you copy folders, the
folders themselves will be processed in reverse alphabetical order, but their
contents in alphabetical order.

This is not really a bug, but with the profileration of mp3 players with
simplistic file system drivers it becomes quite annoying; most of these simple
devices simply play their contents in the same order as they appear in the
filesystem's FAT, which is the same order as they were copied onto the device. 

The net result of this is that when you copy albums of which the filenames of
the tracks start with the track number as to keep them playing in the correct
order, will be played in reverse order.
