Good afternoon all.
Firstly, I'd like to say how impressed I am by all the work done in creating the Custom Firmware. It really is a most professional job.
On to my query. One of the HDR's more irritating features, for me at least, is the way that the media listing is ordered.
Under Media >> Opt+ >> Sort there are 3 options available -
1. by time - reverse date/time order, ie. the newest first
2. alphabetically - A-Z order
3. by channel - in reverse LCN order, ie. the highest LCN first
While I realise that it is unlikely that the Custom Firmware could increase the number of options, I was wondering if it might be possible to change the way the existing ones work.
What would be ideal is -
1. by time - in correct date/time order, ie. the oldest first
2. alphabetically - A-Z order, ie. unchanged
3. by channel - in correct LCN order, ie. the lowest LCN first
As other applications (eg. Undelete, Sweeper, Flatten) seem to be able to manipulate the media listing, I don't think that the above suggestion is completely unrealistic.
I've come across a couple of threads on the forum that briefly discuss this, but don't seem too encouraging (sorry, can't give the full URL) -
currently-sorting-by-date.2700
sort-order-for-media-list.1270
However they are a year old now, so perhaps things have changed in the meantime - the developers' expertise will certainly have increased, for example.
Looking forward to your comments. I'm new to the HDR and the Custom Firmware, so please be gentle.
