[SOLVED] Dolphin can't count

Postby Garthhh » Jan 24th, '18, 03:48

I have a bunch of files which I had renamed using this kind of formula for the batch renamer h#0, g#0, j#0...
which I expect to sort h10, h20, h30, h40, h50, h60, h70, h80, h90, h100, h110, h120......h190, h200, h210, h220
actual sort h10, h100, h110, h120...........h190, h20, h210, h220..........h290, h30, h300, h310

It's normal behavior, you don't find any file manager that works different.
To have a sort like you want you always have to keep in mind how many digits you need to use.
By example if you have 1000 files you will need at less 3 digits if you want to go from 000 to 999, or 4 digit to go from 0001 to 1000

not true,
dolphin respected the number of digits on Mageia 5, plasma4 & whatever version of Dolphin we were using before the update to M6
this is new behavior

I'm running fully updated Mageia 6 and Dolphin sorts files as you want here.

Looks like it's grouping files in the view, can you make a screenprint?
