DiaShow and thumnaii view should show .lnk images

As far as "thumbnail viewing" and "dia show" are concerned, It would be great, and fulfil an important role in such a good editing machine, if XNview could show images bonded to .lnk shortcuts. Windows Explorer also does not read them... that is, it does not read a successive list of .lnk's: instead, when the first .lnk is clicked on, WinExp takes us to the folder where the original image is filed, and remains there, proceeding to show in succession the image files saved there -- and this is no help at all. Irfan View shows them all right.

Working with .lnk images, instead of copied ones, is mostly advantageous because much operational space is saved.

Implementation would need some thought (due to the usual issues associated with virtual representations of real files and the actions users can perform on them), but...

...this is a good idea, IMO.
