#153 [patch] sort-bar do not work for multiple file selections

[Glenn R.]

The current version does not support actions
(move/copy/link) from the folder-sort bar (CTRL+S) when
multiple files are selected. Only the first is
moved/copied/linked/etc, and undo does not work.

Bug is reproductible:
- show the sort-bar (Ctrl+S),
- select two or more image files,
- select an action on the sort bar (let's say "move"),
- click on a folder in the sort bar,
Then only the first file from the selection is moved in
the destination folder...

I solved the problem with the attached patch.

It has been tested on :
- Debian GNU/Linux i386 && powerpc,
- Mandriva 2006 i586 && Cooker i586
with the 2.0 and 2.1 versions of GQView.

And it was applied in Mandriva's package
(2.1.1-5mdv2007.0).

[patch] making sort-bar's actions (and undo) work when multiple files are selected

Multiple selection can be added, but the existing behavior
is not a bug. The 'folder' operations are only meant to work
on the currently active (visible) image.

Basic operation was intended as see image, sort it, see next
image, sort it...

I will look at this patch after the 2.0.2/2.1.2 releases.

Per previous comment this is by design, moving to feature
request.
