Hello Is there a setting to determine the order in which files are copied (alphabetically)? So far it seems to happen either from A to Z or from Z to A, or sometimes even randomly. Best regards.
Sorry for the very late reply ! Thunar was lacking a maintainer for long time. No, there is no such thing to determine the order. What is the reason for which you want to know the order ? (the actual problem) I am guessing you want to control which file(s) are copied first, if they are big in size ? Since Bug #16685 it is possible to pause copy/move operations . possible that would be sufficient for your use-case ?
Closed since no further info from the reporter
Response from Benoit Castello : > No, when i copy music into a mp3 player it played the music from the first transfer to the last in the folder. > So sometimes he does play like track 07, track 02, track 06 ... instead of played them in the order. I just took a try for thunar master, and thunar 1.6.x branch: The copy order always is the same like the sort order. Actually that makes sense to me :) Just select "Sort by Name", and you will be fine.
