Thank you very much for the reply.
This has to do with your view settings. From the view menu, choose "Customize Current View...". Then check the sorting list section and make sure you have "Name (a-z)" included in this list.
Sorry but I still dont get it, maybe I am doing something wrong. Heres exactly what I did.
+ Create a new view scheme in the standard view, view items = filename (path). Leave everything else as it is, say OK.
+ Select the new scheme. I can now navigate by path name.
+ Select "customize current view" in the lower right panel. It says list style = details, sorting = name (a-z). Also the "name" column header shows an arrow that indicates sorting.
In standard view MC shows the files just like it should. When I switch to Theater View, files come up unsorted again.
This is MC default behaviour. Play will add the whole folder. You need to select the file and choose Add. This will add the single file only to Playing Now. The playback behaviour your speak about relates to the way files are added using a mouse for standard view only so they have no effect in Theater View. I myself would prefer these settings to be global and therefore for Theater View also but they are not unfortunately.
I think so too. My feeling is that this is similar to the first issue - not all settings are applied globally. This looks somewhat unfinished.
Does jriver work on the product? Were there any updates recently?
