Splitting synths logically when not 100% synthy to begin with.

Although I imagine many plans are in the works for the type of preview/editing/adding and resynthing features described throughout, I have a couple thoughts that might be easier/quicker stop-gaps to get started:

1) Once I create a synth, let me delete any of the images not associated with the primary synth: this would allow me to very quickly increase my synthy % to 100 without doing any additional work (assuming I am willing to accept the fact that of those stragglers didn't make it in). While in development, I imagine that the team actually needs to take a look at what was and what was not synthed in a group, because that is how the algorithms are improved or analyzed, but it still would be great if I could get rid of them if they don't make it in the group. ( I know the "delete a photo" post has already been made, but here the goal would be to delete all the photos not in the primary synth...a subtle difference, I guess, but...)

2) If it happens that I make a synth that has 2 distinct groups (e.g. I made one walking between two rooms and hoped it would synth the 2 rooms together, but they ended up as 2 separate good synths in the same group which was only considered 39% synthy), let me split the synth at its obvious group boundaries into 2 separate synths and just apply a new name to the

3) In the meantime, let me export a filename list of the photos and the "groups" they are a part of in the synth. This would at least allow me to manually build a folder with the appropriate files (i.e. the ones that would synth with 100% accuracy) and eliminate the others before I re-upload. Although this is possible to do visually, it is extremely hard, especially when you are trying to exclude 50 out of 300 files that all look very similar. This could be an "export synth report" type feature, or it could even get written as an additional log file (or part of the current log file) for each synth as soon as it is completed.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you have on this. Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't, as others have, compliment the team on such a wonderful new piece of software.
 
happy I’m loving the possibilities of photosynth, even though I have no idea what they are yet!
