Hello Bob,

Are you trying to reorder pictures inside a folder? If it is the case
then it's unfortunately not possible with Gwenview because it cannot
reorder pictures: it always sort them by name, date or size. "Moving"
for Gwenview means moving the picture file from one folder to another.

If you are moving pictures from different folders to a common
destination folder, then maybe it happens that pictures have the same
name? For example if your structure is something like this:

paris/pict0001.jpg
      pict0002.jpg
      ...
lyon/pict0001.jpg
     pict0002.jpg
     ...

And you want to have all of them in a "slideshow/" folder, when you move
paris/pict0001.jpg to slideshow/ everything is ok, but when you then try
to move lyon/pict0001.jpg to slideshow/ it will complain that there is
already a picture named pict0001.jpg in slideshow/. In this case all you
have to do is rename the second picture to something unique. If I am not
mistaken the message box you are talking about provides a "Rename"
button which automatically suggest a unique name.
