Managing files: More polished yet simple interface to handle companion files

Post by Gwenael Q. »

Hello,

When deleting files I now see often a "Delete items & companions" dialog.

Seems to me that this is new, and I would be very happy with that if this dialog were not so incomplete.

Please consider these two suggestions: the first one is the minimum a user would expect to find this dialog not so frustrating, the second is what a user would expect to begin to feel comfortable when managing files with companions.
Xnviewmp - Réflexion interface suppression fichier .png

Bold filenames are selected files, other ones are are companion/associated.

This one if for delete but the same would be needed when moving or copying files.

Thanks for listening

Hello,

Glad to know this !

I share with you some slight changes I made to to my first suggestion of "full control" window:
Xnviewmp - Réflexion interface suppression fichier2 .png
"selected" mean selected files in the thumbnail window before calling delete command

Thanks for listening !
