Probably I will do it after 21th September :-( (I have to prepare a
speech, in English, for OpenOffice Conference, and some other personal
things next weeks).

I always disable thumbails :-) (in all photo programs, like Gwenview 1.x
or gqview)

yes, this way is done in flickr or youtube (scrolling some scrollbar,
and then user can see that thumbails are loaded). For me, this is high

Yes, I meant scrolling. Ops, I didn't noticed that was implemented (I
checked while you was in holidays). I will check again but I had a
program to compile kdegraphics :) (not gwenview problem)
