Last time I checked, it did not support reordering the files using
drag and drop. It only supported up and down arrow keys; which can be
quite a drag if I have many files!
Just out of curiosity: what is the "root problem" you are trying to
solve? Get them in date-order, maybe?
Yes, to get the proper time-line. These are many image files which were
scanned from negatives but not in proper order.
The way that I would do it is:
As you view an image in one window, use exiv2 in another window to
add (or change) the exif timestamp.
(Then, after doing that to all the files, I would use exiv2 to
rename them based upon the timestamp. But that's just me.)
I don't know is MS Windows "resets" the file order when you log off
or change directories thus forcing you not to be able to do anything
else in Explorer until you complete that task, but the method I
propose definitely does not force you to keep that window open the
whole time.
