This issue has been discussed before. Check the archives.
If it's supposed to show images (plural), a slideshow is not an
unlogical extension. It's probably using the same code as Next/Previous
image, so the addition is minor in terms of code and executable file
size. The Next/Previous image is a killer feature, BTW. Love it!
Bloat is a little harsh. It could definitely enable OBOS as a store-
front add rotator and similar, as long as it doesn't leak memory. :)
I guess that, in a sense, we don't want BeOS to change, yet there are
major changes we need/want, like real multi-user, etc.
