"delete from drive" should also delete xmp-file for this image

[Dominik]

Binary package hint: f-spot

Platform : Ubuntu 10.10
F-Spot : Installed: 0.8.0-1

When I delete a Photo from the drive (select photo =>context-menu => delete from drive), the xmp-sidecar file remains on the drive.

The xmp-file for the deleted image should also be deleted.

For anyone stuck with a lot of "useless" xmp-files:

I attached a little script to this bug-report, that will delete all the xmp-files which don't have a corresponding .NEF, .jpg, .JPG or .jpeg file in specified folder(s).

It worked for me, but USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Cheers,
Don

PS: the script works for Nikon-Cameras (files with the following naming pattern DSC_1234.JPG / DSC_1234.NEF ). Modify the script for other file-name-patterns.
