Package: qiv
Version: 2.0-4.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
By default, qiv sorts the agglomerate list of files before displaying
the images to the user. I believe it would be useful to have an
option to avoid the sorting all-together, such that the user could
specify a list of files to be viewed in a given order without the need
to rename the files in order to coerce qiv into producing that order.
Since I was unable to find a way to accomplish this with the current
qiv options, I have added a -D,--no_sort option to qiv which causes
qiv to bypass the sorting algorithm. With the attached patch, qiv
still sorts all files by default, and if any of the sort-specifier
options are passed (-P,-M,-N) in addition to the new -D option, the
-D option is overridden.
I hope you find this useful, and will consider its addition.
Cheers,
Kevin
