Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-05-03 13:15:46 UTC
Having to move a folder containing multiple images is always an unnecessarily painful process.

I'm requesting for Gwenview to remain showing images that were moved by updating into their new addresses.

So you have an image open in Gwenview, and then you switch to Dolphin (or whatever), and move the folder it lives in to another location? Is that right?

I was thinking more of moving the images instead of folders, but yes.

Not sure how feasible this is for changes made externally.

For moves done within the app, yes. But for moves done externally, it's challenging to envision how it could be done without becoming a massive and fragile project.
