If retouching is needed to decide whether a file should stay or not,
then why should the user have to open the file selector to delete it?
Wouldn't a close image  delete image file from disk entry in the menu
be more convenient then?

This could be provided by a script; it should prompt the user for
confirmation of this harmful action and should probably not be included
by default - I can see the data loss bugs if otherwise.

I agree and have a similar work-flow.  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.

Re: [Gimp-user] delete a file

2007-01-08 Thread Helen

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.

I don't believe you are.  That is exactly the feature she wants.

My personal favorite is Save a Copy, it allows me to make edits to a file,
and save off snapshots in time of my edits while keeping the original
filename for future edits.

 'scuse me for butting in, but might the original post not be thinking in

 PhotoShop, but still have the ability to re-organise files at the time
 of the File/Save operation.
 
 In Linux, if one uses KDE, iirc there is some provison for this.  I
 don't know of Gnome, though.

The overloaded file selection dialog on Windows is generally considered
bad user interface design and fortunately GTK+ is not duplicating this

improved, but cerainly not by adding more stuff to it that is already
handled by the native file manager.

Subject: [Gimp-user] delete a file
Date: Sat, 06 Jan 2007 18:53:20 -0500

 Hi,
 Is there a way to delete or rename a file in Gimp? I know I can save
 with a different name, but then I have two copies.
 
 If not, is this an oversight?  Will it be corrected?
 
 Thanks,
 Helen, using Gimp 2.2.10 on SuSE 10.2

Gimp does not provide this facility.  (For that matter, neither
does Adobe Photoshop or most office programs.)  Use whatever file
management methods your OS provides to delete unneeded files.
