Yes, absolutely. The other day I was downloading images off of a Canon I 
borrowed, which I got to work on the third try with PhotoGrabber (very 
useful app, but can be improved a lot, unfortunately does not compile out 
of the box). Then I went on to select and sort photos, but ShowImage was 
quite a pain to use. When you rename a photo, there is no node-monitoring 
and consequently you can't navigate to the next/previous image anymore. 
Same if you move a photo to another folder (in which case I'd prefer to 
navigate to the next/previous image in the *old* folder anyway). Somehow 
the workings of the window size is also annoying. I'd prefer it to remember 
the last size. So lots of room for improvement with some simple changes... 
if only I had more time.

Best regards,
