some comments:

Why two toolbars? there are only 7 icons... I fail to see why you should 
sacrifice so much lateral space, after all the idea is to show as much image as 
possible (it's an image viewer, duh). You can just group the icons in one of the 
toolbars and remove the other

Scrolling the icons is very odd. I can't keep the arrows pressed down to keep 
scrolling it

Mouse scrollwheel doesn't advance/backtrack through the images. This is 
something I would expect the viewer to do. (some people prefer zooming in/out 
with the scrollwheel, which is arguably nicer)

space/bacspace doesn't advance/backtrack between images

left/right/up/down doesn't move zoomed in images

some thumbnails do not show up when opening a new folder. The area is partially 
gray and stays that way until I scroll/click on the gray area.

continuously clicking the 'left' arrow in the icon bar makes it become gray 
again too.

when opening a folder, a random picture from the folder is shown, but it's not 
the first image in the folder.

The images are not rotated according to the EXIF information (no biggie, this is 
proably a bit more complex :))


Cheers,

Auke
