If you plan to make new releases, could it be possible to add a few 
features?

1) The main feature I would like to see is the ability to create symbolic 
links. It simply requires to add an entry in the drag'n'drop popup menu and 
in the right-click popup menu. I don't know how existing symbolic links are 
now managed, but this may need to add a tool to check if target of symbolic 
links are still there, and add the user the ability to interactively 
cleanup broken links. Thumbnails also need to be well thinked: are they 
generated in the dir of the symbolic link, or is it also a link to the 
thumbnail of the target image? Don't know what is the best.

2) Is it possible to have a larger exif window when opened teh first time? I 
alawys have to drag it to see all tabs... Could it be also possible to 
automatically refresh the opened exif window with the most recent selected 
picture?

3) I'm using nfs partitions to store my pictures, and gqview freeze when the 
network is not reachable. It may be a GTK issue, as I have the same problem 
with Gimp. But there may be a solution to avoid this...

4) I would like to have more than 10 external editors, even if only the 
firsts have shortcuts (Ctrl+<num> )...

5) Is it possible to have windows port?

I really hope you will continue to maintain gqview, at least to port it to 
future GTK reeleases, because it is really a wonderfull tool. For example, 
it is the only image browser able to fullscreen on the monitor I want. This 
is really great, because I can hide all the browser stuff when I show 
pictures on a projector.

Thanks,
