Thanks, that was on 17 July where you said "to be able to prefix
numbers to the filename, if you use the tag names for the file 
names. With this patch the files are in the correct order if you 
list them ordered by the filename."

I wondered if this might be too restrictive as I know some of the 
requesters wanted to use label names. But I'm certainly 
interested in taking a look after 1.3.9 Release if I have time. I
'm still sitting on an Export Multiple patch by Leland to propagate
metadata to all the exported files via a checkbox in Export Multiple. 
That would meet many requests we've had to restore this previous 
functionality, but I've lacked the time to test it. Perhaps I can
see where your patch fits in after that, and you could resubmit 
it if it needs to be reintegrated into Leland's changes?

As you are doing, plain text file attached to a message to this list.



Thanks
