Chris Potter Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 This would be great when processing a day's shooting and much more convenient than having to go into a separate program! Quote
walt.farrell Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 You can already do it. File > Open will give you a file manager (Finder or File Explorer, depending on your OS). Select the file(s) you want to delete, and either: For Windows, press Delete; or For macOS, right-click and choose Move to Trash. loukash 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Chris Potter Posted November 15, 2023 Author Posted November 15, 2023 Yes, OK - but that's in Windows, NOT Affinity, I would like to be able to delete an image which I am looking at when stepping through loaded files. Currently my workflow procedure is. View the raw files in MS photos and delete the real "stinkers" Run a batch process on the raw files to convert them to .afphoto (usually applying a macro or two) Load all the .afphoto images into Affinity Photo Step through and edit them - hence it would be great if there was a "delete" option to further refine my selection walt.farrell 1 Quote

Staff MEB Posted November 15, 2023 Staff Posted November 15, 2023 Hi @Chris Potter, Welcome to Affinity Forums The workflow you are describing is typical of software for image organization (DAM - digital asset management) and processing like Lightroom or Capture One Pro usually used by photographers to manage and step through multiple images of a session/photoshoot and edit them one by one or apply common presets/adjustments to several at once. Affinity Photo doesn't possess any image organization features. It's just a RAW/photo editor comparable to Photoshop where although you can open a multiple RAW's at once you have to work on them individually. loukash 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Chris Potter Posted November 15, 2023 Author Posted November 15, 2023 Well, I have to say I was unaware of the acronym! BUT after 40 years in and around the IT industry if one of my developers told me he couldn't write a procedure to delete the file on display, a P45 would be winging its way to him!! Quote
