   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~.

  14 This is useful for pruning photos with multiple format extensions with
  15 each extension type in a separate directory.  For example, a ~JPG/~
  16 directory contains ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG~, ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG.ots~ and a
  17 ~ARW/~ directory contains ~ARW/DSC01001.ARW~. With ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG~
  18 selected and the ''rmall'' command executed within [[gThumb]], a ~.trash~
  19 directory is created next to ~JPG/~ and ~ARW/~. Then, the following
  20 moves are performed:
  21
  22 - ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG~ is moved to ~.trash/DSC01001.JPG~
  23 - ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG.ots~ is moved to ~.trash/DSC01001.JPG.ots~
  24 - ~ARW/DSC01001.ARW~ is moved to ~.trash/DSC01001.ARW~
  25
  26 Thus, by browsing ~JPG/~ in [[gThumb]] and performing *rmall* on undesired
  27 photos, the unwanted related photos from not only ~JPG/~, ~ARW/~ and
  28 other similar directories are prepared for disposal in ~.trash~.
