Done, just scroll on the thumbnail-viewer. Space and Backspace work too.

Done, (i should make the screenshot with C locale to make this clear).

Not yet done, because this would result in some heavy memory-usage. I
have concidered it as an option, but i won't add it until the app is
more mature. In the current code it would become a mess and the risk
of having a huge memory-leak is just too big.

Done, you can modify the timeout in the config-file (see the readme)

Not that trivial, at least, not if you want a dynamic list that is
build from all the other apps you have installed which support opening
that image.
