Hi,

sure, I can write some script and do some filtering on filenames and
forward it to the non-revocable rm -rf $files - but this is very dangerous
and error prone.
It would be nice to have a visual feedback of the picked items and to be
able to work on them with reject/0 stars like we always do in darktable.
Darktable has powerful filtering tools based on tags, properties, file
types, etc. I was wondering maybe I just did not yet spot the property that
I can use for easily achieving my goal.

Kind regads
Dave
