I have a specific use-case issue where the available sorting options are insufficient, which makes looking through the files slightly annoying. I have a bunch of files that are named following this pattern: [Name][Week Number]-[Number].pdf . If the “Number“ is 1, then I emit it and it becomes [Name][Week Number].pdf . For example: SomeNotes4.pdf, SomeNotes4-2.pdf, SomeNotes4-3.pdf etc. Despite having different length, those files get sorted properly within Dolphin when the natural sorting is enabled (in this case: SomeNotes4, SomeNotes4-2, SomeNotes4-3). But in Gwenview, the files without the number are displayed after the files with the number (SomeNotes4-2, SomeNotes4-3, SomeNotes4). Sure, if I did not emit the 1, then the order would be correct in both Dolphin and Gwenview (SomeNotes4-1, SomeNotes4-2, SomeNotes4-3), but I find this a lacking feature nonetheless. It would be perfect if Gwenview simply had the same sorting algorithm as Dolphin, with the three sorting modes available: natural, alphabetical case insensitive and alphabetical case sensitive. This would further develop the idea of Plasma as a complete product with consistent default applications.

What does a program do that’s actually meant for PDF’s instead of one meant for images?
Ah yes, I meant .png of course, not .pdf.
I have been watching the entire KDE forum and can tell you there are way too many over sensitive peeps on the forum. They need to grow up.
