           Summary: import image should allow both direct and reverse
                    ordering
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.10.0
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: simone at omni.it


Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

Wher I open the image import dialog, I cannot choose image ordering. The images
are ordered by date, starting from the more recent to the older ones.

While I find this disturbing (I can easly recognise the images if are shown in
the cronological order) this causes a more annoying problem if I use the
auto-renaming feature.

In this case, appending an autoincrementing number causes the photo to be
imported in a reversed cronological order, which is exactly the OPPOSITE of
what the camera does.

I mean, on the camera the files are named dsc_0001.jpg, dsc_0002.jpg and so on.
Smaller the number, older the file.

If i use autorename and the sequence number, I have photo-vacation-0001874.jpg,
photo-vacation-0001873.jpg, photo-vacation-0001873.jpg and so on. Higher the
number, older the file.

Worse, if I browse the collection via (say) gwenview, I see the photo in the
reversed order, which is *very* annoying.

I think that the import dialog should present the photo in the cronological
order, or at least, allow me to choose the ordering I prefer in the
configuration.
