Because of that , I think when using Flip Image Horizontally or Flip Image Vertically from the View menu it would be useful to have a little marker superimposed over the flipped image , either Flipped (H) or Flipped (V) to alert the user that the image has been flipped. When it returns to the original orientation the little marker disappears.
The marker is inserted as a quick visual reminder that the image is in flipped/reversed mode:

Thinking about this makes me wonder if the nomenclature of "Flip" should be reconsidered for this function, because the term Flip is also used in TVPaint to refer to the act of scrubbing or toggling quickly back and forth between drawings on the Timeline , to simulate the animator's traditional method of "flipping" and/or "rolling" drawings to assess how the animation is working.
With the View menu > Flip > Horizontally or Vertically the word "Flip" is used in the sense of the image being "mirrored" or "reversed" (turned over) ... in the second case the term "Flip" (the Flips panel or keyboard shortcuts for Next Image/Previous Image / Next Bookmark/Previous Bookmark) is used in the sense of viewing a selected set of drawings forward and backward in rapid succession to assess the action.
I would be inclined to suggest renaming it "Mirror View Horizontal" or "Mirror View Vertical" , except in the FX Stack there is already an effect named "Mirror" which adds a perfectly mirrored image (either vertical or horizontal orientation) of the original image.
"Mirror" already exists in FX Stack, so maybe best not to mess with that , leave it as is:
Perhaps the View menu function currently called Flip Image Horizontal/Flip Image Vertical could be changed to Reverse Image Horizontal/Reverse Image Vertical ?
In which case the little alert marker would be Image Reversed (H) or Image Reversed (V).
