Yes, it lacks printing capabilties as for now. The released version is also
0.1.

This is correct, I do not like mega-applications. PRICE
(http://price.sf.net) is currently capable of printing and I use that,
albeit it is a bit rough. I hope to find the time to improve it.

Thumbnails are nice but always a problem I use several programs on Mac,
Windows, Unix, all have their problems.
Please be aware that GWorkspace itself can do thumbnails and before
duplicating a file manager functionality into a program, I need to evaluate
that. I think it is an interface error, but of course here we are about
borderline. In nay case it is not one of the features I'm workingon
currently for LaternaMagica.
