-Great post!  Thank you.  I had actually tried this or a similar app before
-and was dismayed that the thumbnails were not in a grid (rather, they are
-in a single, uniform column) but there are SO MANY great features that I'll

GImageView displays thumbs in a grid, and seems to do the other things
mention. It also has experimental 'drag and drop' which works well with
GIMP.

It's in the ports.
