From the FAQ page:
<<
25. Is it possible to display images following a specified order without renaming all files ?.
Yes, it's is very easy. You can provide to gPhotoShow one or more lists of files ordered in the way you wish. Simply create a text file with a filename (with full path) on each line then save it with .glst file extension. Save it in a folder scanned by gPhotoShow (and different from the folder where the images are stored) and remove any other image from that folder, set sequential display with no sort and gPhotoShow will display images exactly as they ordered in the text file.
>>
Anybody else able to get this to work? I thought the key might be where you dropped the ".glst" file, but I've tried everywhere gPhotoShow might scan & had no joy.
For me, the order of pictures listed by path+filenames in the .glst file is simply ignored & the alphabetical order is displayed (when I set sequential display with no sort). I've used just a small test directory of 4 jpegs with a saved .gss file.
Thanks for any help.
