Delete pictures from Preview??

hi there,

When you are visualizing some pictures in the Preview, and you want to delete some as you see them, when you press command+delete, they are deleted from the list on the right of the preview (slides), but not deleted from thew hard disk....!
Anyone knows if there is a way to delete pictures while you see them in the Preview other than doing it with "right button+move to trash"?
This is so annoying, it should be a short cut to be able to delete pictures right away as you see them, and you know that you don't like them...

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks a lot!

No. Preview is a file viewer, not a file manager.

That's weird. I just opened a few photos with Preview and used the Command + Delete keys to delete them. They were moved from the folder where they resided to the Trash.

I kid you not. I even moved them to the Desktop, originally they were elsewhere, opened them with Preview, used the ⌘ + Delete keys and they moved to Trash again.

Maybe it's because you are using the Right click + Move to Trash. Try the Command + Delete keys.

yes yes, I'm using command+delete. the pictures disappear from the list of slides at the right, but not frmo the folder. The folder is Pictures and it's not blocked or protected.

I don't wich setting should I change to fix it...

Just now I realized that in the Finder doesn't work either. For example: I create a folder in the desktop, I copy a picture inside this folder, I select this picture, I press command+delete... and NOTHING moves!

I just don't get it...
