Explorer Search results + ImageGlass sort order

  • ImageGlass release: Classic

Describe the feature

The ability to view files from an Explorer search was recently added, and that's wonderful. Sadly, there's no way to view those results in a random order.

If "Use Explorer sort order if possible" is checked, then ImageGlass goes through image in the Explorer order (which cannot be set to random). This overrides all other options.

If "Use Explorer sort order..." is unchecked, and the Loading Order is set to Random, then ImageGlass will show random images from the base folder of the file currently being viewed.

I would very much like if these two settings could be combined. I would like to use the Explorer search results, but the ImageGlass sort order, so that I can say, search all images with [x] tag and then browse those images in a random order.

Search navigation is not working for me. The next/back buttons always navigate the content of the folder of the current image, not the search results.

Reproducible by double-clicking any file within some search results.
