Request: It is possible to add option to rename file? (something like pressing F2 like other viewers)

Open Sacolevas opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Hello!

I am a long time user of Viewnior and it is my default viewer in Linux Mint XFCE. In Windows there is a nice viewer (IrfanView, I imagine you know it) and besides its fast navigation, there is an option to rename files just by pressing F2. In Linux, I have seen this only in Mirage, but this viewer has the awful problem that you can't navigate fast enough and using the keyboard keys).

Is this feature (the option to rename a file) too dificult to implement in Viewnior? This is the only reason I always need to install more than one viewer (just for renaming I have kep Mirage, because I manage folders with hundreds or thousands of photos I need to organize)

Thanks in advance

You can do it, awkwardly, with the "Open with" item. Unfortunately, the open-with menu has no provision for manual editing, so the only way you can force the option to appear may be to set a renaming script as the default option for images long enough for Viewnior to notice it and add it to the open-with menu. Then you can switch back.
