VitaminSEE - 0.7.1.2

I'm watching the development of this program since the early versions and think you're doing a great job! I use the program for going through my image database, but actually I never upgraded from v0.6 for the following reason: In v0.6, when one descends into a subdirectory and goes back, the focus stays on the folder, in which one descended. But in later versions the focus jumps to the first folder again. So, when going through a file system tree one always has to remember the previous folder and look for it again in the list. Maybe you could restore the old behavior? I'd also love to have shortcuts for file system nagivation (e.g. go to next folder in parent directory etc). Anyway, thanks for writing a great image browser!

I'm still searching for a tool that allows me to browse through a folder of pictures the way I want it. Such a tool must preload and prerender (!!) the (e.g.) next 10 and last 5 pictures from the thumbs area so that going forward/backward is _instant_, even on a 500 MHz Mac, provided that there is enough RAM. Yes, it is possible, but so far seemingly noone has done it.

This is what supposedly all modern digital camera owners do: Wade through the loads of pictures and deleting the bad ones, somethimes deciding which one of three or four almost identical pictures is worth to keep and switching between them _fast_. Each picture has to be viewed and judged, so there is enough time for preloading and prerendering threads to prepare the next images.

VitaminSEE may be fast ... but not faster than GC which I use so far for my sorting tasks so far. I'll gladly pay some shareware fee if my wishes come true ...
