Summary
FlashView has become a great tool for rating and categorizing images — the culling workflow feels fast and intuitive. One natural next step that would make it even more complete is the ability to act on the filtered result with basic file operations like copying or moving images to another folder.
Use Case
A typical workflow might look like this:
- Browse and rate images (stars, color markers, pick/reject)
- Filter to show only the picks or top-rated images
- Copy or move them to a delivery folder, a separate archive, or an export location
Right now, step 3 requires switching to Explorer and manually locating the files again.
Proposed Solution
It would be wonderful to have basic file operations available for the currently filtered/selected image set, for example:
- Copy to folder — copy all visible (filtered) images to a chosen destination
- Move to folder — move images to a chosen destination
- Export — optionally organized by rating, color marker, or pick status
This could fit nicely as:
A button or menu in the toolbar
A right-click context menu entry
A small export/copy dialog
Motivation
This would close the loop on the core culling workflow that FlashView is already so good at. Even a simple "copy filtered images to folder" option would add a lot of practical value for everyday use.
Environment
FlashView version: 1.7.7
