Hello everyone, I am new here. First of all I would like to thank the author for his great work.
I was on reddit with this question but nobody was able to help me there so far. So I decided to repeat the question here.
Is there any way to change the standard sorting from âwhenâ to âfolderâ on the top bar? I would like to be able to browse photos only from the selected folder but unfortunately when I enter it and select a photo I can only continue to scroll by date and from the entire collection, not just from this selected folder.
I know I can select a folder from the bottom bar, but I would prefer not to hide the photo and to be able to do this with buttons rather than the mouse.
Is there any way to change this or disable sorting by tags other than the folder structure?
Apologies for the latency, this post got stuck in a Discourse moderation queue (and it didnât help that I was offline for a couple days out with COVID )
Youâve raised a couple issues. Iâll work through them:
Can I change the order of the ârootâ tags on the home page?
There isnât an easy GUI pointy-clicky way to reorder root tags, but, if youâre not afraid to get a little nerdy, I can help.
The tags table in your PhotoStructure library has an ordinal column to determine the order on the front end. Weâre going to change the ordinal of the fs root folder to be less than then When.
Click the âordinalâ cell on the row of the tag you want to edit, and give it a value smaller than 1 (the value that âWhenâ has) (note that fractional and negative numbers are both valid). Make any other ordinal changes youâd like.
Commit the change by typing Ctrl+Return or by clicking the right below the âGrid viewâ tab. You can verify you mathed everything out correctly by replaying the first query.
Quit. Restart PhotoStructure.
Can I change where ânextâ and âpreviousâ goes?
Unfortunately, the current version always ignores the context of where you started browsing assetsâânextâ and âpreviousâ always go to the chronologically next and previous assets. This is a known (frustrating) bug, and will be addressed in a future version.
