Interesting.  gtk2+-2.14.7

ok.  you suggest tooltips, and I think if all the options had long
enough tooltips that would totally suffice.

I get this now, and see why it's confusing.  The choices are icons, and
then list w/o thumbs and list w/thumbs.  moving thumbs below list and
indenting would make this more obvious.

I will try to do so when I have one I am willing to publish.  Basically
I like to keep the exif window smallish, maybe 150 pixels, just enough
to see the date/time and basic exposure info.

This is probably a common case and a big speedup, so it's probably worth
looking into.  I'll see if I can find some time, but I have fingers in
many pies and am trying to just be a user of geeqie....

Sorry, I didn't realize the scroll bar in advanced.

Thanks; I see that and bumped it up to 256.

I mean a few things:

  keep several images in cache (seems like that works great )

  read ahead several images, perhaps 3, but might as well be
  configurable.  If I go to next after watcing an image a few seconds,
  it's quick, but if I go forward twice the second one is slow.

My own use case is that I want the last perhaps 4-5, and the next 3-4,
and wouldn't mind if it preferred prefetch if I'm doing next or previous
repeatedly and cache if I'm jumping around.  But I have 2G of ram so 5
each prefetch and cache would probably be peachy.

Also, it seems the profile is reapplied rather than having the profile
be pre-applied.  I guess cache may be jpg, not raw bits, but for read
ahead would be great to do this.  Plus, would be nice to run a 2nd
thread (or OpenMP) to do the transforms.

Split is awesome - thanks to whoever wrote that.  I spend a lot of time
picking the best photos to keep and deleting the rest and that helps a
lot.

In custom border it would be nice to have buttons to switch to black,
white, and 18% grey, in addition to the selector.
