Description Paolo Benvenuto 2007-06-17 20:36:47 UTC
If you select various images and the rename it (F2), effectively renaming the images, after the rename process gthumb doesn't mantain the selection on the renamed images.
Comment 1 Paolo Benvenuto 2007-06-17 20:40:03 UTC
Somthing related to this bug is when after selecting the images you moves them to another directory.

You expect that the cursor (in the thumbnails pane) remain on the following image, while on the contrary it goes to some image different from the one you'd think.
Comment 2 Michael Chudobiak 2009-05-26 17:14:54 UTC
The first issue is fixed in trunk (as of today).

The second issue is still present.

Comment 3 Paolo Benvenuto 2009-05-26 17:34:53 UTC
modifying the summary so that it reflects the situation of the second issue.
Comment 4 Michael Chudobiak 2009-05-27 12:06:10 UTC
The general problem is that the selection status is strange after any directory change.

After switching to a different directory, the cursor should always go to the first image in the list (using gth_browser_show_first_image?).

If there are no images in the directory, the preview image (Ctrl+1) should be blank, instead of showing the last image. Indeed, if you switch to an empty directory and press "f", it will show the last image in the fullscreen mode. That's not good.

(When moving images between directories, it is probably to complicated to preserve the selection status. The cursor should just go to the first image. However, if someone does know how to preserve the selection status, please submit a patch!).

Comment 5 Paolo Benvenuto 2009-05-27 12:24:05 UTC
I think the should be used like this:

- after moving one image or more contiguous images, select the image whose md5 follows the last moved image; if on the contrary many non contiguos images are moved, select the 1st image in the dir

How to make it happen? create an image index, 1.. n, according to the current ordering option. When moving the images, it's simple to know what image to select.
Comment 6 Paolo Benvenuto 2009-05-27 12:26:54 UTC
Excuse me, correcting the 2nd paragraph:

- after moving one image or more contiguous images, select the image that
follows the last moved image; if on the contrary many non contiguous images are
moved, select the 1st image in the dir



The bug is to be flagged new.

*** Bug 103821 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 8 Michael Chudobiak 2015-12-17 14:37:36 UTC
Marking as obsolete, as this was reported for a now-unsupported version and no recent activity has occurred. 

Please feel free to reopen this bug report if the problem still occurs with a current version of gThumb.
Comment 9 Paolo Benvenuto 2015-12-26 10:16:51 UTC
The behavious is weird, because after moving the images no image is selected, but if the user uses the arrows, the "cursor" moves as if the right image was selected.
Comment 10 André Klapper 2020-11-14 09:12:43 UTC
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen
updates for a long time.

If you still use gthumb and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a
recent and currently supported version, then please feel free to report it at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gthumb/-/issues/
by following the guidelines at
https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented
so far (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
