Almost perfect! But why not a "clear all but excluded files" button. GCombust can only delete them out of the image, and since they're automatically chosen I'd imagine that they'd be scattered throughout the image - so a lot of writing. It can save the current file list, but not the marked subset of it, or invert the selection. Either of those would have been enough. I suppose it's open source. If I wanted it badly enough I'd add it. -- Richard Urwin
