As all files belonging to a db are named like the db but
just use different extensions, well I admit that I just find
it easy enough to drop them using a usual file manager, that
is, with the UI I use all the time to manage files and
similar objects.

Don't get me wrong: I'll not hinder the implementation of
this stuff. I just do not see why and I'd actually just
remove scids file finder entirely as useless a thing ;)

Ic. You're working entirely the other way round than me. I
suppose you even use a file open dialogue ;) Which means:
you work with a program not with the object that gets
manipulated by some tool.
It would actually be really a feature I'd like to have in
Scid: drop a file on Scid to get rid of "File/Open..." as
well. I could then just open the Scid folder and ... Would
be much faster than navigating some trees with file open.

Frankly, I really never use such things and find them pretty
useless.
Anyway, I think the implementation of your functionality
would be almost straight forward. Maybe you would want to
have a look into
.../scid/tcl/file/finder.tcl
One could probably add a binding for Del there. It would
probably be the most sensible spot for this function.
