With all due respect and admiration to the GIMP developers, I do believe that the inability to at least rename a file from the camera's default of dsc00405 to something meaningful is a serious impediment to convenient use of the GIMP. Once I have made some color adjustments, and maybe some cropping, etc., I will decide whether I want to keep the photo or whether it is not worth keeping. It's a real inconvenience to have to go into Konqueror (e.g .) to do the simple task of renaming it.
I love the GIMP, I admire the GIMP community immensely, and am reluctant to find a fault -- but I do believe that would be a worthwhile improvement. Helen, using Gimp 2.2.10 on Linux SuSE 10 On 1/8/07, Patrick Shanahan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I shoot raw and convert with ufraw in batch (or sometimes bibblepro) with settings based of averages from previous experiences. Then I open with gqview and cull and also look for particular shots that would have been better converted with individual attention. I re-convert the individuals, then go thru them all in gqview, editing with gimp-remote when and where necessary. I cannot remember ever looking for a delete function in gimp. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
