When I implemented "show next/previous image" I took BeMail as an example.
Nobody complaints that BeMail is not named BeMails. The dia show was just
a consequence of the navigation feature. But I agree with Axel that the
navigation feature it is not very intuitive, I will change it so it works
the same way as it does in BeMail.

Michael Wilber (Translation Kit leader) is responsible for ShowImage and
AFAIK is not subscribed to this list.
