Hi, Deepak. I'm curious (and others with opinions or aspirations for the iv thumbnail project, please also answer): what do you think are the relative merit of the thumbnails being at the bottom, at the right side (such as where page thumbnails are in Mac OS X Preview window when viewing a PDF document), or in a separate window altogether?
