Rocks in Order

Half-size images are difficult to drop consistently. I find some out of order but suspect there are more.

See Rocks Adventure

We find the order we added items to the Story.

Then compare that to the order present in the Story.

This seems to show three out of order. Now what?

I showed this to Paul. We spent some time trying to decode the diff which remained confusing. Then he says, wait, just open a second copy of that page and shift-hover through the Journal to see where each image ended up. That works. Surprise and delight.

Tip to self: next time you try this, double check order as you add images and fix out-of-order items as you go.

Next problem: half-size images remain hard to reorder. Each attempt to make it better made it worse. Fix was to write a script that made the images full-size. github

I returned to my desktop folder of images and showed them as icons, enlarged for legibility. This made reordering quick work. When finished, I used the same script to make them half-size again.

Aside: I am now more suspicious that my early decision to make images half-width was both gratuitous and a mistake. It clearly violates the principle: Simple Sequence.
