Actually, I use the feature to step through the images in a directory. 
So, if it were up to me, I would keep it -- I am just bringing up the 
question.

Other comments on feature removal are based on product targeting.  As I 
said, features that work better in more advanced applications are 
feature bloat -- an image viewer doesn't need to be able to modify and 
save images.  I don't know exactly how the print function works so I 
haven't reached any conclusion about it yet.
