   5 ** Summary
   6 This command moves to trash a single selected file ~dir1/file123.ext~
   7 along with any adjacent files that share the same stem located within
   8 the same directory (e.g. ~dir1/file123.*~). Also moved are matching
   9 files in directories neighboring the originalʼs parent directory
  10 (e.g. ~dir2/file123.*~).  The destination trash directory is ~.trash~;
  11 parent directories (e.g. ~dir1~, ~dir2~) are preserved within
  12 ~.trash/~.

  19 ** Usage
  20 *rmall* is useful for pruning photos with multiple format extensions
  21 with each extension type in a separate directory.  For example, letʼs
  22 say a ~JPG/~ directory contains ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG~,
  23 ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG.ots~ and a ~ARW/~ directory contains
  24 ~ARW/DSC01001.ARW~. With ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG~ selected in gThumb, a
  25 ~.trash~ directory is created next to ~JPG/~ and ~ARW/~. Then, the
  26 following moves are performed:
  27
  28 - ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG~ is moved to ~.trash/JPG/DSC01001.JPG~
  29 - ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG.ots~ is moved to ~.trash/JPG/DSC01001.JPG.ots~
  30 - ~ARW/DSC01001.ARW~ is moved to ~.trash/ARW/DSC01001.ARW~
  31
  32 Thus, by browsing ~JPG/~ in gThumb and performing *rmall* on undesired
  33 photos, the unwanted related photos from not only ~JPG/~, ~ARW/~ and
  34 other similar directories are prepared for disposal in ~.trash~.
  35
  36 Then, it is upon the user to empty the contents of ~.trash~ to
  37 permanently delete them.
