Agreed, I couldn't remember why I didn't like gthumb or kview, but you 
hit it on the head. Although I don't use the thumbnails in the file 
window, I like the image to be displayed at the same time as the files. 
I also use the auto-renaming and like the way the move shows the 
thumbnails of images when attempting to overwrite images of the same name.

At one time I would have said the same thing about xv.

There is a fine line between genius and lunacy, fear not, walk the
line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you
will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
