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

  19 ** Usage
  20 *keep* 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 ~keep~ directory is created next to ~JPG/~ and ~ARW/~. Then, the
  26 following moves are performed:
  27
  28 - ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG~ is moved to ~keep/JPG/DSC01001.JPG~
  29 - ~JPG/DSC01001.JPG.ots~ is moved to ~keep/JPG/DSC01001.JPG.ots~
  30 - ~ARW/DSC01001.ARW~ is moved to ~keep/ARW/DSC01001.ARW~
  31
  32 Thus, by browsing ~JPG/~ in gThumb and performing *keep* on defsired
  33 photos, related photos from not only ~JPG/~, ~ARW/~ and
  34 other similar directories are moved for preservation in ~keep/~.
  35
  36 Then, it is upon the user to archive the contents of ~keep/~ to.
