Hello,

In reference to bug 37685 - http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37685
Ill just quote what Ive commented to this rather old feature request. I got no 
replies, so perhaps when a bugreport is closed you dont get my comment 
afterwards.

Summary:

>I've seen this feature on Win XP: When you open an image you can go through
>all the images in a folder by just pressing enter or clicking a "next"
>button. Would it be possible to have it on Konqueror?

>Quote: "This is the task of a image viewer or slideshow program not a file

>But if this were true, konqi should hardly display any images at 
>all since this is the task of an image viewer.

>Ive been using KDE since 1.X days, and I *highly* miss this feature in

I decided to send a mail to the devel list, since I still havent found a 
"nice" way of solving my problem. No image viewer Ive seen so far would top 
the elegance if konqueror did this the way described above.

Please CC me when replying, and pretty please implement this feature :-)

Thank you for a great product!
