Well, the sort bar is not easy to use as drag'n'drop feature...

Ok, this is fine.

Not for me (see attached file). Maybe a local issue? Could it be possible 
to remain the size and position of this window like you do for the main 
one?

Well, no special reason. The property windows has all informations (files, 
keywords, exif). This is why I use it. For EXIF, you're right, the EXIF 
bar is enought.

About the keyword window: when selecting several pictures, adding/removing 
a keyword only tag the current image. There are 2 additional buttons to 
tag/untag all images (the '+' and next to right icon). Why not directly 
tag/untag all selected images when clicking in the check-box? This is a 
little confusing, and need more clicks to do the same stuff...

Ok, forget this. This is a long time a plan to use CODA, another network 
file system, much better than NFS. I will give it a try.

Easy!

Ok. My laptop has a 1600x1200 flat panel, and I use small fonts ; so, the 
preference menu is only half of the vertical space. I can add 10 or 15 
entries before it exceeds the screen size ;o)
