Congratulations it looks very good indeed and in such a short time.

No doubt tumme is already much more versatile than thumbs.

I'm sorry to say, but I don't think I can (and will) help you very
much.  I'm just not a graphics, photograph or image friend and don't
collect pictures.  I just want to have a simple way for checking some
graphics files without leaving Emacs.

By chance I stumbled over thumbs and now I'd like to support Nick
Roberts in making thumbs rock solid and hopefully he'll leave it as
simple and easily to maintain as possible.

After this I'll play around with tumme and'll give feedback but I
can't imagine working extensively on such a project, sorry.
Personally I'd be more interested in a good browser incorporation
(w3m?) and a dictionary lookup.

See, this is the first time I read about Flickr.  I'm just a waste of
time.
