"Orphaned" does seem to fit better ... good suggestion that will make the option clearer.

Thank you for pointing this out.
I will rename the setting in the next release.
Anything else to be renamed?

I like keeping my thumbs in the same folder as the videos. The Delete Orphan option is greyed out. Do the thumbs NEED to be separate for the option to work?

How do you delete video files in that case?

I have thousands of videos so I use Videonizer, so I can see the duplicates then rename them with a prefix like "delete". Then search my hard drive for all files starting with "Delete" and delete them.
This leaves a lot of orphan VTX files. Going back to the first part of the question, I keep my thumbs in the same folder as my videos, "orphan" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?
BTW - I LOVE the "Magic" being able to do 5 files at once.

If you use Videonizer - there is a tool under the "DB Tools" -> "Delete Orphans in a Folder". It scans in subfolders too. It searches for files on the disk which are not linked to any database Items and moves them to the Recycle Bin. You can learn more on the feature in the popup hint.
