--remove option is not available, see your geeqie use case example where you use it

So which command can we use for removing previously added file name additions? Thanks in advance.

This does not work here.
-x /home/mj/snippy/geeqie/appendfilename/appendfilename/__init__.py --remove "${@}"

Hi,
There is no --remove parameter and I can not think of a straight-forward way of implementing it. If you've got a sane concept, please write it in a feature request issue here.
The only thing I can think of you might have seen is when I remove tags (using filetags) with the --remove option or prepend it with a minus character.

Why "you might have seen", it is in your main page. See your section "Integrating into Geeqie".

Excellent. You've found a copy & paste error of mine. Probably happened when updating this section with snippets from filetags and doing search&replace without checking properly. I'll fix it right now. Sorry for causing any fuzz with that.

Once again, I'm also in situations where I need to remove parts of file names. I'm using vidir from moreutils or Emacs dired with activated Wdired. However, I can not think of a good implementation on how appendfilename might support here, considering multiple selected files and such. If I can get my head wrapped around a good approach, I might as well implement it.

No thanks, if I know there is no such option, all is well. I only do not want to miss any functionality which is available, maybe I had an older version I thought first. Now all makes sense, appendfilename can only append or prepend, but can not remove them again, using -word, as you implemented for filetags I guess. So the remove .sh example on the main page should be removed then as well. Thanks for sharing all your great tools here again. Have a nice day.
