What is a fast process for reviewing and sorting photos within directories?

I like to flick through previews, and drag them to trash or another directory, and repeat. This is really cumbersome in Mint and other distros, decent in Fedora and Mac OS.

detailed:
1. open directory in file manager
2. press space to show photo, press arrow keys to compare with neighbors
3. press space to hide the photo
4. drag photos to "trash" or "other directory"
5. repeat from step 2.

Do you know of a particular app or procedure that makes this easy on most platforms?

Thanks!

Lastly, you can use command-line tools like exiv2, jpegoptim, and mogrify to automate the process of sorting and editing photos on Linux. These tools allow you to quickly sort through large numbers of photos, adjust their metadata, and batch-process changes.

Overall, it depends on your preference and what operating system you are using. You can try out different options and see which one you like best.

So are you asking us or telling us ?.

Geeqie. Open a jpg with Geeqie. Enter fullscreen with 'F' button. PageUp/PageDown buttons to scroll through the images. Delete button (not Backspace) and confirm to send it to the trash can. All on one hand on a full-size keyboard.

Looks good - I have used feh to cull my collection(s).

Came here to get away from chatGPT and I got impatient.

Have you actually got chatgpt to work? Only thing I've even got from it was:

Or cloudflare "prove that you are a human" over and over again. Seen it work on utube. That's it.

Thank you SW64 for recommending Geeqie

Thank you syg for recommending feh

I would throw something together in Lazarus (Free Pascal). I could design it to do exactly what I wanted, the file names for the image files could be easily loaded into a Listbox and when I selected an item there, it could be displayed in an TImage object. I could then disperse the files based on some predefined buttons so that they go to the correct directories. It actually wouldn't be that hard to set up. I know, it probably isn't the Linux way, but it would work.

I don't understand that sus link

But your question is interesting. I have registered and logged in/out many times since December.

I highly recommend trying some other ways in, or accessing a similar technology. Chat GPT ( chat.openai.com ) has accelerated my coding and linux learning. It's 100x better than google as a problem solving tool, and is just fascinating and scary to think about.

I recommend using Chat GPT as a tool, and as a preview of the future. Is there a "Chat GPT thread" on LinuxQuestions.org?

Edit: I see that you found it.
