I'll have to see once I replace the drag and drop behavior. What was most 
annoying is that I moved the ShowImage window some place so I could see the 
Tracker folders (the images were larger than the screen, so ShowImage would 
always open at the size of the screen). Then when ShowImage lost the 
connection because of renaming or moving an image, I'd had to restart it, 
since I couldn't simply drag another image onto the window to load that. 
When I restarted it, of course the window was the full screen size again 
covering up what I wanted to see. But maybe when it doesn't have to be 
restarted anymore, it would work just like I wanted even when it opens at 
full screen size initially.

Best regards,
