Dear all,

First, thank you for Gwenview. I have been a fan since the KDE3 days and it
has been a pleasure to use it over the years.I use Gwenview to manage a
collection of 500+ illustrations of invertebrates which I carry with me as I
collect specimens in the field. The images are scraped from a public
database and I use exiftool to insert a lot of information as metadata into
various fields and the images themselves are named according to the
particular species. I have a few feature requests that matches my particular
usage case but which I think would benefit others as well:

1) Display all lines of multiline metainformation (for my metadata, only the
first line is shown in the panel, even though I can see all lines when
adding the properties using the More... option).

2) Turn http:// addresses inside metainformation into clickable links

3) Toggle on/off filenames in the thumbnail bar

4) An alternative drag-and-drop behavior: dropping an arbitrary selection of
images from for instance Dolphin should open a browse view displaying said
images instead of asking if I would like to copy them to a folder. For
instance, in my case, the instant filtering functions in Dolphin are quicker
to use to filter images on filename than the filters in Gwenview (which
admittedly still are very useful). It would be nice if this mode would
aggregate subsequently dropped images until the user cleared the "table".
This way a user could quickly create an arbitrary collection of images from
different directories and export when ready. Is this usage scenario already
possible somehow?

5) Export to new local directory should be listed among the other export
options (even though the copy to option under File serves the same purpose)

Kudos and thanks again for a great program!

Best regards,
Andreas
