Then you're going to have a lot of users complaining about deleted files. Also, sometimes most do not read annoying pop-up boxes. I can see the likely rational for implementing CTRL-D as the "delete file" function, as most people are not going to inhibit such key sequences unless they have a complete system lock-up or their young kid starts banging on the keyboard. As for me, upon photo import from my digital camera using my gphoto2 script, I mark all files as not writable. So this should prevent deleting or even modifying photos via Geeqie or other command sequence. I would think most, if not almost everybody, would not take such measures to insure their photos are not deleted or inadvertently modified. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Geeqie-devel mailing list Geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geeqie-devel
