Delete this version of a photo



I'm pretty new to using f-spot and I found the lack of easy access to the
'delete a version' of a photo a real downer after being pleasantly
suprised at the ease at which photos can be modified without harming the
original (they way photos are modified really rocks!).

When a user creates a modified photo for the first time, the first thing
they will do is then try to delete it! This is because they are just
playing around with the feature for the first time - they've not just
created a masterpiece to be proud of :) They will then have a very tricky
search to find the 'delete version' button. The first place the user will
look is near the modified photo dropdown at the bottom right of the main
screen in order to find some sort of 'delete this version' button. Then
they will (if they are a reasonably experienced user) try the right-click
context button whilst hover over the photo to find such an option. But
they'll be out of luck.

I think sorting this out is a reasonable priority. I tried the patch on
bug 412794 (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412794) but it
failed - I'm sure it is well out of date wrt the svn codebase.

If a popup menu option can't be added because of clutter what would people
think of adding a little delete button beside the 'modified' dropdown at
the bottom right of the main screen? It could be greyed out when the
original is selected, otherwise enabled.

All the best,
Dec
