           Summary: Go to next photo after current photo deletion (vs. to
                    previous photo)
           Product: showfoto
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: Michael ElementsbyCaroline com


Version:           0.6.0 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When I delete a photo, the photo disappears from thumbnail view, and the photo before the deleted photo is loaded. I believe it would be a more user friendly experience if instead the next photo in the sequence were loaded. 

Use Case:

Michael (me!) is sorting 700+ images for a client. He needs to weed out the poor shots and loves to use Showfoto because it's fast, has good shortcut keys, and has good basic image manipulation tools available. As he deletes files, he is directed back up the list of thumbnails to pictures he has already decided to keep, instead of to the next photo which he wishes to view and make a decision about. 

Thanks for considering this minor enhancement. It'll really make my day if one day I run updates and notice I don't have to press the down arrow after every single delete. :-) 

PS. We love ShowFoto. We run a wedding photography business, and have found DigiKam + ShowFoto to be the best way to manage our photos under Linux. They hold up to 1000s of pictures way better than the equivalent Mac tools we were using (iPhoto + Preview).
