Ideas for next release cycle

Plugin system

• configure external commands by installing additional files, for user or system wide
• plugins can appear anywhere in the menu

Flexible layout

• replace directory list with a generic "filelist provider" which can be anything of: directory browser (list, tree), collection browser, Find dialog, Dupes, ...
• replace image window with anything of: normal view, split view, tabbed images, pan mode, ...
• each module can be in a separate window or embedded in the main window

Other ideas

• use gio library
