Will I also be able to select multiple thumbnails for move/delete?  I'm trying 
to get away from this "toggle between View and Browse" thing.

Hooray!

Not sure where to start, not being a developer-type being, but will poke 
around a bit.  <grin>

<pout>  Any chance you could push a complaint upstream?

Speaking of complaints, can you take another look at an issue I complained 
about way back in 2006?  It's still present in 2.1.3...  The thread in the 
archive is 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=200611301801.33787.skarp%40mysk.org
but to summarize, if you use Shift plus a letter key to select a range of 
files, it doesn't quite work.  Shift-Letter selects the next occurrence of the 
letter, rather than the entire range between the two positions.  If you then 
use Shift-Arrow to extend the range, the entire range between the two 
positions is selected.
