Gthumb, More Than A Picture Viewer ...

[desertrat]

I absolute love this app, it is very useful. however, i noticed something that is a bit annoying. when you try to delete a file, it seems to mimic windoze and moves it to the trash, but since there is no trash it gives me a warning and asks if i want to delete instead. could that feature be changed to just plain delete?

In [Edit]>[Preferences] uncheck "Ask confirmation before deleting images or catalogs". Then when you delete image for the first time it will ask about the "no trash, shall I delete" thing, then check the "don't show this message again".

Bringing an old post back from the dead...
Is there a reason why the image editing menu items are grayed out?
I have a jpg selected from my mom's camera.
I looked for documentation and unrpmed a copy of gphoto on my Puppy Linux box, but the documentation wasn't compatible with the help menu item in the Zaurus version.

Yes, there is a reason. Open the image itself and try again.

Thank you.  
I thought I just had to select a picture.
Using File -> open, opened the selected picture and all the image editing tools were available.
That's why I tried to use the help documentation, but it didn't work when placed the appropriate files in /usr/share/gnome/help/gthumb/

Yes, it's not obvious at first, but when you open the image you will see they are there . Very good program, btw. Maybe I should update all gtk/gnome/etc libraries along with this one, for beta3 ... haven't done this for soooo long  I have so much work, small laptop, and don't use Z often , except for e-books.

Since I couldn't get the help documentation to work in Gthumb, I created a small htm doc that I copied from a website and added some directions for connecting a Zaurus to a digital camera and importing your pictures.

The original help documentation is in XML format with a folder of screen caps of the GUI dialogs. I couldn't figure out how to get those to work/display.

If my attachment opens in your browser instead of downloading, just "save it as" a htm doc in your browser
