Fw: ROX Copy bug

ROX Copy bug

Hello,

When I drag a directory containing, say, 100 files numbered in
sequential order, from a ROX window to another ROX window which
represents an mp3 player, ROX copies the files in backwards order,
i.e., starting with file number 100 and ending with file number 1.
This causes a problem in every mp3 player I've used because they all
play the files in a directory in the order the files were copied into
the directory, not in their numerical sequence. (I listen to audio
books, which often consist of 200 or more mp3 files that have to play
in numerical order for obvious reasons)

To get ROX to load the files in numerical order, I have to open the
directory containing the files, click on the "Change sort criteria"
icon 12 times, then ctrl-a (select all) the files and drag them into
the appropriate directory on the mp3 player.

The reason I call this a bug is, when I drag the same directory in
Windows, the files are always copied in numerical order, which is what
I would have expected and which the people who write the operating
systems for mp3 players evidently expect too. Maybe they expect it
because that's the way Windows does it, but even if I'd never seen
Windows I wouldn't have expected a file manager to do it backwards by
default.

So, is there anything I can do about it? Change a setting in ROX for
instance? I looked through all the ROX Options configuration settings
and didn't find anything that looked applicable.

If it makes any difference, I'm using the latest version of Puppy
Linux: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47563

Thanks for your time, and for an otherwise great little program.

- Chris
