Originally posted as a gthumb bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678106), however as it went away when using GNOME rather than XFCE4 I wasnt able to show it was a bug with the program. I dont know where to post this for XFCE4, so starting with the window manager. From original bug report: ========================================================================= Prior to v3, I would routinely open an image/images in a directory and in the image viewer mode (rather than the directory overview) use the Delete key or Shift+Delete to remove images. It seems that the keybinding has been dropped? Delete or Shift+Delete no longer work, and you have to right click -> Delete. The normal keybindings work in the directory overview mode (but you see smaller versions of the pictures naturally). Depending on the number of images to go through this is a minor or major usability problem for me. uname -a: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Jun 1 17:49:08 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux Debian Testing (Wheezy) gthumb Version: 3:3.0.0-2 Desktop environment: XFCE4 v4.8.0.3 =========================================================================
