Yes, that could be done, probably. Although I would leave it to show only on
mouse over, like the rotate buttons. Also this gives me an idea to put a
number of versions somewhere in the versioning sidebar, so you can easily
see how many versions you have available.

That is done from the sidebar - you select the stack and the sidebar shows
all the available versions and you simply select which version you want.
This version will then stay on top of the stack.

Both solutions will be actually used. You have an option to either show only
one image from all versions and hide the rest (the stack) or to leave them
all displayed in icon view (the outline). So they are both implemented.
There's just a small problem on how to make the outline look good visualy,
because the delegate has no information about the items around, so you can't
paint one thicker line around all the images for example. It could be done
by using some heuristics, but I'm afraid that this would add too much
complexity and would slower things down. I'll see what could be done though.

Yes, please do :)
