Hi. Thanks for introducing this software. It seems lacking features 
normal user expect from an image browser, e.g. print an image. Again 
maybe in GNUStep the concept is different, e.g. one application does 
only one thing, if it prints image it call services from an image viewer 
like Preview.app, is it right?

Some input from an end user:

Thumbnail browsing would also attract users much. However automatic 
thumbnail genreation is a bad idea, I experienced this with nautilus 
especially when there are press-quality pictures that takes minutes to 
thumbnail. I'd consider the Firefox style much more friendly. IN Firefox 
a bollon appear on the top of the main content area with a simple 
quesiton and one or two buttons following, asking "Do you want to save 
your password? [yes] ...". Such thing if used on thunbmail generation I 
would consider it friendly.
