Hi John,

Little feature request you might want to consider for one of your next
releases:

I'm using the Image Search function quite frequently for searching for
similar images (in terms of content). My usual behaviour is to view an
image in the main window, hit F3 and then search for similar ones to the
one currently viewed. Would be great if there would be an easy way to
fill the text-field of "Image content is x% similar to:" with the path &
file-name of the currently viewed picture -- maybe this should even be
filled in by default?

I'm also wondering whether it would be feasible to create a kind of
hashed data base to store the key features of each image to make
searching for similarities faster? I guess this hashing could be done at
the same time the thumbnails are generated.

And, as always, thanks so much for this app. Still _the_ unbeatable
standard for Linux...

HaJo
