There's a quick Flash animation of this concept on the net. It would be great if XnView can do something like this to speed up the experience of viewing multiple images and side-by-side! So users can jump to any picture in a folder a lot faster than viewing forward/back one pic at a time.
BTW: There used to be a program called PicWalker 4.2 that does similar to this, but it is no longer developed--and the implementation wasn't perfect.

Yes, a great feature, an user has already made this request...
Hmm, both are not for me. May I suggest a solution that gives the same end result, but is much easier to implement and fully XnView like? Changing the thumbnail size!
Now guys, how many of you have ever done this? I bet many use the default size, some may have better monitors and set it a little bit bigger. I use 192 x 144 when I browse quickly through bigger folders. But changing to 384 x 288 lets me view the whole pic in real preview quality and browse throught the folder similar to the quickflash method presented above.
The only thing missing here is a hotkey that lets me change quickly between both thumbnail sizes...without going through the menu...and that should be easier to add than a completely new viewing mode...

but problem w large thumbnails is that they are cached, and we dont need duplicated large images on our hard drives. plus you cant go fullscreen mode with thumbnails...

Sorry, but duplication is not an issue for me and many other users. Storage is so inexpensive these days that I have a couple of empty TB available most of the time. Duplicate thumbs is no problem.
