        Additional Sort Options in Raskin

        • Item Height: Sort the items according to the height they are displayed. (This makes it easy to eg. separate landscape from portrait oriented pictures when they come from the same series.)

        • Hue: Raskin calculates a mean value from the colors of any file preview. The files are then sorted according to its hue value on the HSB pallette (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, red).

        • Saturation: Files are sorted by the intensity of their color saturation, according to the mean value of their previews.

        • Brightness: Files that have brighter previews appear first.
