Terminal: Does not use files in correct sequence

  • 772

I run Xubuntu 16.10, the Yakkety Yak version. I just tried to use align_image_stack to align a sequence of photographs. I wrote a command like

align_image_stack -a aligned -v -c 20

And after that, I just selected the JPG files with the mouse, and shove them all into the Terminal window. So, the names of these JPG files are appended after the command.

When I move all 37 files into the terminal window, the full command has the file names in the correct order - but align_image_stack begins processing with IMG_867.JPG and IMG_0858.JPG, not IMG_0839.JPG and IMG_0840.JPG.

Does the console have a glitch?

    From man align_image_stack:

    --use-given-order
    Use the image order as given on the command line.  (By default images
    will be sorted by exposure values.)

    So you need the --use-given-order flag.
