For me, this behavior makes an important aspect of using Gwenview quite tedious. Is there any chance this behavior can be altered in the future? I would be happy with a configuration option to turn off the feature of automatically jumping to the first image in any folder. Actually, I don't mind if it loads the first image in the folder as long as it doesn't move the cursor there. -- Thanks. Joe P.S. I very much admire what has been done with Gwenview. In particular the ability to arbitrarily dock, undock, stack, and rearrange the panes is truly marvelous. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
