GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 665111
Sushi should have Forward/Back buttons
Last modified: 2019-07-07 06:09:47 UTC
Sushi should have a feature to view all the files in the folder. This can be implemented via changing focus in Nautilus - and then Sushi would update the preview (see bug #656951). Another option is adding forward/back buttons - anyway, the best option would be implementing both of these options. Original report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-sushi/+bug/886834
Sushi would be much more useful if you could quickly navigate through a few images using the arrow keys or forward/back buttons (or even just having it follow focus in nautilus, so you could click on something else). I've recently been having issues with ImageViewer, and had hoped to make use of sushi, but its a bit awkward to use. It would be much simpler and easier to use if instead of opening nautilus, clicking on an image, pressing space to open sushi, pressing space to close sushi, hitting an arrow key to go to a different image, and pressing space to open sushi again, if you could just navigate directly from within sushi itself. In Apple's implementation of this, you can use the arrow keys to update the file preview, without having to close/adjust selection in file browser/reopen. Its an interesting bit of code, but it could use a little refinement to make it more useful. I hope this has been added in .5, but I can't find a changelog, and I only have .4.1 installed.

I started implementing keyboard control for sushi (arrow keys get handed over to nautilus via DBUS and preview is called again). We could also implement left- right arrows in the action bar or at the left/right border of the window, but I don't know how useful that would be (compared to keyboard control). I am happy for suggestions on how to improve the code. One bug that is still there is, that if an edge is reached the preview closes because the same file is being opened again which is equivalent to calling close. Also I just realized that it's not working at all in list view. - Wolf
I recently picked this up again, and we can track the implementation in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/sushi/issues/5.
