Bug Description

I think the option of just dragging your mouse over a certain area, "selecting it", would be really cool.

After that, people should be able to just copy their selection, and reuse it in other programs, such as GIMP.

Note: Pantheon-Files support for creating image files from such a selection is not part of this, see bug #1088241

Right now foto 1.0 is using flowbox. It has an integrated rubberband. "Copy&Paste" like copying to a file manager is not foing to be supported, but you can select photos to do actions, like add to album or remove.

Changed in foto:
milestone: none → foto-1.0
status: Confirmed → Fix Committed
