Title: Popular Comics 020 - page order issues
Post by: ejpetrie on March 07, 2015, 09:51:30 PM

Hi!  It appears that there's a naming convention problem with the compiled pages of the new Popular Comics 20 upload.  (Page 2 appears just before page 20, page 3 appears just before page 30, etc.)

If pages are numbered without left padding (i.e, 1,2,3,...10,11,...) rather than 01, 02, ... then some programs sort them numerically and others lexicographically where 1 comes just before 10, 2 just before 20, etc,

Depends on what you're viewing it with. In a Windows folder, they're in order:. scan0...scan9, then scan10... etc. Some sofware treats these numerically, and some alphabetically...
but that's no excuse. It's a very old problem and I should have caught it. Sorry.
Thanks for the fix!
