Hi,

It's great to see GQView back in active development - it's my image 
viewer of choice, and integrates nicely with GIMP for editing, and 
PhotoPrint for printing. :)

Anyway, I'd like to add a couple of features to the Wishlist, if I may?

Firstly, one thing I frequently find while rearranging my digital photos 
is that I end up with empty temporary dirs that I'd like to remove - 
that's the one thing I can't currently do from within GQView!  Being 
able to right-click a directory and delete it would be very useful for me.

Secondly, I have an ICC profile for my monitor (generated with Argyll 
and an X-Rite DTP94).  The development version of GIMP is now able to 
make use of this, as is PhotoPrint - it would be nice if GQView could, 
too.  Initially, just a simple sRGB (or definable working space profile) 
-> Monitor profile would be a good start; a longer term goal would 
perhaps be making use of embedded profiles, and printer profiles when 
printing...

I may well be able to contribute code towards both these features, if 
it's agreed that they're desirable?

All the best,
