Files

What Mirada does to a file it does on disk, where every other app sees it. Each of these is in the right-click menu, the palette and, on a Mac, the menu bar.

Rename

Rename… (F2; Return on a Mac, as in Finder) asks for a new name with the part before the extension selected, so typing replaces just that. A name typed without an extension keeps the old one, and a name another file already has is refused rather than overwritten. The image keeps its place in the folder’s order, by its new name.

Move to Trash

Move to Trash (Delete; ⌘⌫ on a Mac, whose Delete key is Backspace) moves the image to the desktop’s Trash, the Recycle Bin on Windows, and shows the next one. Nothing is deleted outright: the file can be put back from there.

On Linux Mirada can put it back itself: Undo Move to Trash (Ctrl+Z) returns the last image moved to the Trash to where it was, and again for the one before, up to twenty. It never overwrites a file that has taken the name since. Windows’ Recycle Bin and the Mac’s Trash do not say where a file went, so there you put it back from the desktop’s own.

Copy

Copy (Ctrl+C, ⌘C) puts two things on the clipboard: the picture as it stands on screen, turned as shown, and the file. Paste into an app that takes images (a chat, a document, an image editor) and you get the picture; paste into a folder and you get the file.

Drag out

Drag a fitted image, or a thumbnail from the strip, into a chat, a mail or a folder to drop its file there. With the image zoomed in, dragging pans instead.

Show in Folder

Show in Folder opens the image’s folder in your file manager with the image selected. It is called Show in Finder on a Mac and Show in File Explorer on Windows.
