[Help FastStone] Handle (rename, delete, copy, move) RAW+JPEG together

[AlainCh2]

I had to re-install Faststone and cannot find this option I had activated before.

Can't remember where to tick something to do the magic.

Today lost ... googling the wrong way

( I suppose )

I see no option in my version (7.5) of FastStone Image Viewer to specifically 'link' RAW and JPG files for those operations.

Did you mean FastRawViewer?

I really like FastStone for viewing jpgs and for resizing them or drawing on them. It's great for comparing two or three jpgs side-by-side too. It has batch renaming features too.

But for culling a photo session, FastRawViewer is fast and efficient.

In FastRawViewer:

To move raw+jpg together:

File-->Customize-->Preferences

File formats --> Handle raw+jpg together

~~~

And in FastRawVIewer, I have:

Keyboard shortcuts --> copy/move/reject --> Move current file to _Rejected subfolder --> Del.

So, to cull images:

I browse through the folder. There's a lot of tools, including brightening shadows, showing sharp focus areas, etc.

At the first Delete key, it creates a _Rejected subfolder.

The Delete key moves both the raw and the corresponding jpg to this subfolder. Ctl-Z "undo" restores the recent reject if I change my mind right away, or I can browse the rejected subfolder and move selections back to the main folder.

This is very fast and completely reversible. There's a menu selection to clear the rejects, or I can leave them until later.

That feature was introduced in version 7.7. To enable it go to Settings, select the RAW tab, put a tick in the RAW Filter box and click OK. When back in the Browser view hide RAW files by clicking on the Show/Hide RAW files icon on the toolbar. Open Settings again, select the RAW tab, put a tick in the Handle (rename, delete, copy, move) RAW+JPEG together box and click OK.

Really thanks!!
Couldn't remember... or find any way to make those settings appear

• Do (1) > [OK]
• Toggle [R] button to hide raw
• Now you can do (2) and (3) > [OK]

Wow, I went crazy.

Thanks a lot!

You're welcome :-D It's a bit quirky to set up but a great feature.

No problem . Yes there are some good new features, hiding raws and linking them to the corresponding jpgs has made culling so much easier for me.
