Major:
----------------------------------------------

 > pixbuf-renderer.c:
   > tile dispose order is slightly incorrect, furthest ones from current position should be dropped first


 > image.c:
  d> test and probably fix delay_flip.
      > UPDATE: works as before (pre pixbuf-renderer), but should be fixed to provide a single redraw
        by pre-rendering any scaled tiles that are visible before signaling 'render_complete'.
   > make this a g_object with signals for completed, changed, etc.
   > fix delay flip 'completed' signal (full screen busy cursor is not always turned off)

 > cache-load.c:
   > should honor enable_thumbnails setting


 > work on pan view:
   > Pick a better keyboard shortcut than Control + J :)
  w> Fix search scrolling to try to center image and info popup.
   > Fix info popup location to opposing horizontal side when near edge of grid.
   > Find something to do with middle mouse clicks.
   > should delete key actually work?
   > search should highlight all matching images (with toggle?)
   > should non-thumbnail images have a drop shadow?
  d> optimize pixbuf_draw_line (line endpoints should clip to draw region before draw loop)
     > introduced bug (looks like clamp or rounding error)
  d> optimize pixbuf_draw_triangle
     > introduced bug (round error?)
   > does new pixbuf_draw_triangle contain line edge rounding error?
   > check ref counting of image when redrawing after finish loading
   > speed up sorting image.. stage when sorting/merging cache list


   > time line view:
    w> allow use of file date or EXIF (embedded) date.
     > allow horizontal _or_ vertical orientation.

   > calendar view:
    w> fix search. (UPDATE: still can not find day containing name/path/partial)
     > supports thumbnail size images only, should grey out actual size items in size menu or something...
     > allow use of file date or EXIF (embedded) date.
     > fix scrolling when 'day' popup appears outsize of canvas.

   > grid view:
     > allow sorting by name, date, size, dimensions, etc.

   > flower view:
     > fix it :)

   > under consideration:
     > split view

 > the info dialog is not set as a transient of the calling window, this causes it to be behind
   a full screen window when 'stay above other windows' is enabled.

 > folder tree view shortcuts for expanding/collapsing leak through to the main
   window (+,-,*,/, etc.), figure what behavior is desired and fix this.

 -------------

 > update translations: it( ) ( ) ( )

 > document recent additions/changes:
   > Added 'Fast jpeg thumbnailing'.
   > xvpics is now hidden option.
   > Holding down shift will now scroll more when panning with mouse.


Minor (non blockers):
----------------------------------------------

 > when resizing/refreshing collection window, keep the same top left thumbnail visible

 > do not lose slideshow when reworking window layout.

 > add toolbar to: (UPDATE: these toolbars may not make it into 1.6)
   > find dupes window (with button to open dialog to add new files/folders)
   > collection window
   > search window


Wishlist?:
----------------------------------------------

 > Initiating full screen from the command line should not
   show main window until full screen is exited.

 > add animated image support

 > add gamma correction patch

 > deleting a file should not discontinue slide show.

 > add option to only preload max # of thumbnails (to conserve memory),
   then release old/load new needed thumbnails on demand.

 > printing (low priority):
   > fix text postscript output by converting utf8 to a locale (better) understood by postscript...
   > allow selection of background color... (for image files only?)...
   > allow text color and font selection

 > image comparison window (displays two or more images for comparison)

 > add symlink option (in addition to the move/copy stuff.)

 > allow slideshow transition effects (wipe/fade etc.)

 > allow on the fly slideshow delay change with [,] and [.] (< and > too?)
   > show change in overlay for image...
   > account for changing of imd when toggling full screen...
   > should change be only to current slideshow?
