Cool, so I can click a picture from a large picture list and the picture is 
shown in another view. If I "activate" another view (3th) before clicking my
next picture I have 2 pictures in konq. and one list of pictures.

I'd like that.

In this case you can make a source and a destination view making copying
a one click issue. (Kinda like directory opus on Amiga).

Cheers!
