I think to add a "stack" for companion file. So you have only 1 item in browser, and view 1 file...

Hello,
By reading this post, i think the problem to solve does'nt deal with companion management but RAW management.
I shoot RAW+JPG (Pentax PEF + JPG) and JPG files are not preview file for RAW, they are result of RAW treatement. The main function I need is to rename both RAW and JPEG (even in batch rename)
In my opinion, I need some thing like "Raw file management options" with
[File operations]
Copy: Separate/Both (including drag & drop)
Move: Separate/Both (including drag & drop)
Delete: Separate/Both
Rename: Separate/Both
[File handling]
Select: Separate/Both
Mark: Separate/Both
Open, Open with: RAW/JPG/Ask
[Visualization]
Browser: Both/RAW/JPG
Image view: Both/RAW/JPG
Slide show: Both/RAW/JPG (or may it be a slideshow Option)

Then again, you could just tag them and filter for tagged files. Or you could adjust your custom filter to not show .raw files.
How about another custom filter btw.?

"Browser" and "Image view: Navigation" are both filters and might be combined. Actually when thinking about it I see that the same could be achieved by setting the existing filter properly (Tools > Options | Browser > File List).
So all that is left:
- On Open -
(o) Open selected
( ) Always open normal view
( ) Always open preview (?)
- On Delete -
[x] Delete companion file
One challenge is to decide which is the original and which the companion file (preview). I guess an almost 100% and simple indicator would be the file size.
Hello,
+1, I agree. ( Helmut Post and Joltar above post too) for RAW companions file management.
But for an extra XMP, ..., or a description compagnon file ("externalized embedded data"), maybe it's better to keep the link at 1 (CopyCompanionFile=1 )
The only customizable setting that I know right now ( include all kind of companion files, not only RAW files ) is into the xnview.ini file (for copy or delete or rename):
[File]
CopyCompanionFile=0
(1= with a link, 0= without link, and I prefer 0 as default for the RAW type)
