Post by Biff »

Sort file names in panel "Original files" by digit increasing by 1 (e.g. 8,9,10,11,12 and not 8,9,10, 100, 101):

Not supported. FileBot uses standard String order which unfortunately isn't what a human would expect.

You can fix the numbers yourself if you want:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2072


EDIT: r4316 and higher will give you a better default sort order when loading files into the Original Files list. It may also be significantly slower when loading many files.

1.
The link shows you how to rename your files, so that the order will work in other programs that are not Windows Explorer.

r4316 refers to the latest revision: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1609
