Back in my days as an ArcView 3.2 user I remember a nifty little tool that let me click on any feature and view a series of linked images as a slide show. I always thought it would be neat to have a similar tool in OpenJUMP. I'm thinking of a cursor tool that allowed the user to click on a feature and view a series of images. It would be even cooler if the dialog box that opened had two tabs. One could be for the iamge and the second tab could be for information about the image.
