Hello,

first of all I'd like to thank the creator of GQview (and all the 
contributors too). You made a great software, I'm using for years now.

I'm proposing two features that would greatly improve my experience with 
the image viewer. Sorry if this was being discussed here already.

1) In my opinion GQview should check the directory everytime the 
external "editor" has finished, in addition to time-by-time checking and 
correcting the image list (image files disappearing and revealing). But 
what is most important to me: I'm often calling the "editors" that could 
remove files from the directory (move it somewhere else by a criteria, 
etc.). My problem is, when the GQview's cursor was on the file that 
disappeared in time-by-time checking, then the cursor is reset to the 
top of the list. This means I lose my position and have to search for it 
again. I propose the check for such cursor race and simply move it to 
the next image.

2) I would welcome a preference option to let the image or thumbnail 
list to scroll the way, that the cursor will be somewhere in the middle 
of the screen to let me see not only images I have already passed, but 
the future images in the sequence too. Of course, the cursor does not 
need to be exactly positioned in the vertical middle.

Have a nice day,

Vlada
