Yes.
What I was trying to say is that if you get a lot of images
from a lot of diretories, to show the content of the last
(or the first, or another) doesn't seem very useful to me.

Perhaps the point is that I would like a list-only in
the collection window (Command Line), with full paths.

Nice it's in the todo list.

Sorry, I didn't try to say that something is illogical, only that no
matter what set of fixed keywords you choose, they won't be natural
to everyone. Personally, I would prefer the same key to do the same
everywhere, for example.

Semicolon is for comments! Didn't know that... sorry.
That is only for the 'main window menu bar'? I tried:

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/MenuActions/HideTools" "h")

to hide just by pressing 'h' (no <Control>), but does not obey me. :)

    Cheers,
