Will iOS 4 for iPad let you organize pictures the way you want?

Question

Hi,
does anybody know whether the iOS 4 iPAD edition specs say anything about being able to organize pictures the way you want in the iPad?
It currently sorts them with no options whatsoever either by date or by places.
I want to be able to create my slideshows the way I want, not Apple.
For now, I have to:
1- rename each file in the order I want, say, from 01 to 80
2- remove the entire EXIF info from each picture (so it doesn't have time stamps)
3- use a "touch" utility to change all the file dates to (current date+ 1second X picture number)
It's a bit hard and not accessible to the alpha user.
It would be nice to have a "sequential" and a "alphabetic" order in the slideshow options, as well as ascending and descending parameters.
Any clue?

Answer 1

Hi,
I already updated it this morning and moved the suffix as a prefix in order to get the iPad pictures grouped together instead of every other file. It's easier to select all iPad_pic01, iPad_pic02... files as they are together, rather than pic01_ipad, pic02_ipad,etc
1. I suggest that you should post your program description and
link as a brand new topic so that everyone with the same
annoying problem can find it. I would call it something like
"Photo Sort Problem SOLVED".
I'll do that in a very short time, once I have enough feedback about the stability of the utility.
2. The link you posted needs to have a .html at the end.
Yeap. I'll correct the ipad directory to be redirected on the ipad.html file.
3. Would it be possible for your program to handle some other image
formats with EXIF tags, especially Png's?
I'll check this. If my EXIF class handles them (it should also handle TIFF since Exif derives from TIFF), I will implement this a.s.a.p.
4. Would it be possible to directly change the subject files instead
of creating the _iPad copies? Perhaps as a user option?
Yes, I'm working now to add this as an option:
1) overwrite the original picture without backup copies (keeping the same name)
2) prefix the file name with a string of your choice
3) suffix the file name with a string of your choice
Thanks for your input.
