gthumb looses information about selected images when moving them
Last modified: 2020-11-14 09:12:43 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.
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.
The first issue is fixed in trunk (as of today). The second issue is still present. - Mike
modifying the summary so that it reflects the situation of the second issue.
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!). - Mike
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.
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.

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.
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.
