[Thunar-dev] Arrange Items by Access Time

[Jordan Mendler]

Is there a way to arrange items in a directory by Access Time? I have a
movie folder and want to see the movies I accessed the longest time ago to
find new things to watch. Any way to do this in Thunar? If not, how hard
would it for me to patch in having never worked with Thunar code before?

Thanks,
Jordan

So I looked through the code and see THUNAR_COLUMN_DATE_ACCESSED is there,
but despite adding it into the various areas I thought the option to sort
by atime is still not working. Can anyone suggest how I may go about doing
this?

This appears to be a bug. Sorting by access time is only available in
details view, not in icon or list view.

Thanks. Is there somewhere I should file the bug, or is it already
registered?

./thunar/thunar-abstract-icon-view.c and ./thunar/thunar-preferences.c make
references to the other sort methods without mentioning access time.

I thought add { "sort-by-atime", NULL, N_ ("Sort By Access Time"), NULL,
N_ ("Keep items sorted by their modification date"),
THUNAR_COLUMN_DATE_ACCESSED, },
to line 124 of thunar-abstract-icon-view.c and adding
THUNAR_COLUMN_DATE_ACCESSED to the other references would fix it, but they
didn't...
