WatchDirs - files not in sorted position

[Hacker]

WatchDirs=51
I started batch rotating some JPGs in XnView and watched the dir with the JPGs in TC. The rotated files were not put in sorted position (sorting by extension), only after manual refresh (F2, pressed at the end).

See video.

Yes, this is by design, to avoid that files jump around all the time in the file list. For example, if you download two files at the same time, they would swap their location all the time when the directory is sorted by time!

Christian,
Hm, so what does the option

Code: Select all

Put added files at the END of the file list (default: sorted)

do?

TIA

This is for files which appear in addition to the already displayed files! Example: Something is saved in an other program under a different name, or a download manager downloads a list of files.

Unfortunately it also doesn't work for files which appear in addition to the already displayed files. I just converted a bunch of images and the target directory was displayed in TC. The list was sorted descending by size. The new files were added at the end. The size of the files has not been considered. Watching directories for changes is enabled. The "add new files at the end option" was disabled.
