Looks cool and the idea is still great. We just have to discuss, how it
really should look like :)

one solution is to put it in its own tab like "overview" or whatever.
I'm not sure, if we really have to show the images allways or if it's
enough, if it's on its own tab.

One feature to make that more useful would be to remember the state of
the tabs. So if I click the "overview" tab and reopen the
overview-screen later, it should right open the overview tab. I added a
bug report about that:

http://bugs.bitflux.ch/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=807

(btw, i started using our bugzilla again, with all those testers it was
hard to have an overview :) Thanks a lot anyway to all the testers.)

Furthermore we should make a difference between the start-overview
screen, where we have under circumstances a lot of "boxes" in contrast
to the collection-overview screens, where there usually far less and we
display them there much wider (click on the gallery folder to see the
difference). So we have more space in the collection-overview than in
the start-overview.

We also have to discuss what happens, if you click on an image. IMHO it
should open the image-editor :)

But all in all you're on the right way.

In the same direction goes the plan to add latest-comments and
latest-posts directly in the overview.
http://bugs.bitflux.ch/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=809 is for that .)
