I think this would be good as an additional viewing mode for konqueror. It
looks clean and organised. Very good. However, it will not do as a
complete substitute for the current viewing modes of Konqueror. For
example, sometimes you want to see which of *all* files is the
largest, the oldest, and so on. You can't easily see that in this
new viewing mode, because the files are divided into cathegories.

What's the idea of two file views? I get the feeling it is taking away my
screen space. Except from this and the settings button, it's the same as
the current FTP KIO.

Very nice, now you can easily navigate and view the images at the same
time. Personally, I would place the thumbs bar vertically on the side, I
think it gives you more space that way.

Why don't you embed Juk into Konqueror? Maybe that is not possible yet,
but I think Juk's user interface is perfect. Please use Juk's.

But I don't think I will use it, Konqueror is a lot of things, but not a
music player please. Just my opinion.

> 5) Video Player

I don't know, I never use embedded video players, I don't like them.

Cheers,

Dik
