I remember a discussion earlier about having query results eventually 
acting fully like tracker folders.  If this was the case, and you 
queried for images with the "eBay" attribute for instance, would the 
slide show feature cycle through the query results folder or the "real" 
folder the image was in?  This could sort of solve the multiple image 
location thing, but you'd have to add an attribute.  Also, if multiple 
items in multiple folders (whether they're in the same folder heirarchy 
or on separate drives) are selected, what order would the images be 
placed in?  I don't know how difficult it would be to address these 
issues without making ShowImage and SlideShowImage separate entities, 
but it's definitely the kind of issue that needs to be dealt with. (I 
know BeMail seems to handle this alright, we can probably borrow some 
of the code and keep it all consistent).
