Catalog collections - All images

Permanently deleted user

I save every "work" in a own session under "C1_RAW FILES SESSIONS" and after that I import all my sessions with "Import Session" in a Catalog as "C1_RAW FILES ARCHIVE CATALOG". I have now around 40 sessions in my catalog and I was only in the beginning. It was between 15 and 2800 pictures in every session. Varietes of files like Raw, IIQ, Tif, Jpg, PSD and so on. If I look in the session under User Collections the files is in right order also under Folders In Catalog. But...... if I look under "All Images" a part was in the right orders and a part was NOT.... It was frustrating when I was looking in the sessions that was in the wrong order. Where is the problem ?? Did I suddenly make something wrong?? Grateful for some "nice" help here............

    When you look at all images what is your sort criteria?  Or am I misunderstanding your issue?  I tend to sort by date in ascending order, but sometimes select other sort criteria.

    My criteria is like this... sorting by filename "Ahldén-2020-05-07_0063" , Ahldén-2020-05-07_0064, Ahldén-2020-05-07_0065, and so on. Works OK everywhere.

    You need to have each folder/album/etc. sorted as you want. It sounds like you had each session sorted properly when they were imported, but haven't yet set the entire catalog ("All Images") set to sort by whatever criteria you want. Once that's done, each entity remembers the last sort criteria. I've been bitten by this a couple of times.

    Similarly, C1 remembers search criteria for each entity. So if you want to search for "any contains foo" in each session, you need to go into each one and fill in the search box. If you want to search all images for "foo", you do it in the All Images set.

    Let us know if you're now able to sort All Images. If not, you might need to file a Support Request.

    Håkan,

    When you write "was in the wrong order" were you able to work out in what order the faulty part of the list was actually displayed?

    From a data point of view, I would be tempted to change the Sort order to something else, wait until the entire process has finished. How long that is will depend on how many images to some extent.

    Make a note of the total number of images selected.

    Then change the sort order to one of the other options available. Check the count.

    Then revert to using the image name and check the count.

    I cannot be certain based on your example names but are you using YYYY-MM-DD  (as I would do) or YYYY-DD-MM for the naming? How is your system localization set?

    Also, from past personal experience especially when dealing with a lot of familiar-looking file names, it might be good to check that the formats are indeed consistent. There are times, especially when using certain fonts and sizes, when spaces, hyphens and underscores may be doubled up but it's not obvious that such is the case. 

    I have that thought in my mental list of things to check when search selection or sort results fail to give the results expected.

    Now it works for me to 😃 I did miss to set the entire catalog sorted as I want to have it also a couple of my "sessions". I have also changed some of the filenames. So I understand how it works now 😉

    Thank You for the help !! It was worth a whole lot for me !!
