it helps as a temporary workaround, yes. I'd really, really prefer to use
Dolphin/
Konqueror/Gwenview for this (Konqueror would be best, actually, as I can
split it
in as many sub-windows as I want, and see images "inline", that is in full
sub-window instead of opening yet one more window). But in the meantime,
pcmanfm it is, is an improvement anyway for this part of the work.
Still looking for a real patch to konqueror/dolphin, of course. Making them
work as needed through some COLLATE/LOCALE env variables would be perfect,
but it seems thouroughly undocumented (even the mere fact that it could
work, or not)
Try this (on a copy of the files!):
for F in * ; do mv $F $(echo $F|sed -r -es'/^([0-9]{6})([0-9])/\1-\2/'
-es'/^([0-9]{4})([0-9])/\1-\2/') ; done
It'll rename 19350530-aunt-jane.jpg to 1935-05-30-aunt-jane.jpg and
194104-elvis.jpg to 1941-04-elvis.jpg, which will give them the right
sort order both in ls and sorts that compare numbers. Don't have a
Fedora to hand, but on RHEL I can't persuade nautilus to obey
LC_COLLATE despite setting the environment and trying various files
under /etc.
