I continue hearing this, all kimdaba users must be dumb as waterproof 
plastic ;-) Cant you just work the way god (in this case me) intended ;-)
Seriously, I'll have to look at the selection strategies at some point, 
obviously a lot of people get confused about it.

Yeah, I've had a similar need some time ago. I have some other emails on this 
topic that I'll have a look at one day (likely for 2.1) and do something 
about.

| narrow it down a bit) - sorry, but the member groups doesn't really help me
| here - I still have to load all the images.  Anyway back to my request, I
| would like to be able to order the 'Option Groups' in the main window... 
| So I could have something like
|
| Country
| Region
| Location
|
| Keywords
|
| Sport
|
| Event
|
| Folder
|
| Instead of the alphabetical manner that I have at the moment.
This sounds very specific to location, and I can't really see how to 
generalize that. Besides I'm sure that it means reworking a lot internally in 
KimDaBa.

| Also, Is there a 'unlimit view to marked'?
I'm not sure what that would mean, please explain.

| And finally... (sorry to add so many things to the list), is there a way to
| order a view by date and time?  The images seem to be ordered in a strange
| way at the moment - maybe I've just not set the time correctly.  I realise
| that I can re-order images at will, but this is a pain, and if I have, I
| would still like to be able to automagically re-order the images.
select the images in question, and run Images->sort selection by date and 
time.

Cheers
Jesper.
