A couple thoughts: Has anybody come to a consensus about whether or not the no-image dialog should persist after an image is opened? Even for expert users, it might be useful to keep the no-image dialog open as a drop-target for opening more images, but I can also see how it would annoy some users. Perhaps that should be an option which is shown up-front on the dialog instead of buried in config settings. For instance, at the bottom of the dialog there could be a checkbox labeled:
"Close this window when an image is opened" There's a little precedent for this sort of option -- it's similar to the "Never show this tip again" options in tip systems. Speaking of tips... > 4) The tips can be disabled. I suppose that's good, but all that space being used for the tip *could* be used for a more efficient start screen. For instance, the most recent images could be shown in a list instead of hidden in a drop-down. Slightly off-topic: I understand that people want to find a way to show tips in an unobtrusive way, but maybe we can take a hint (no pun intended) from video games here: the loading screen would be a great place for tips, since the user has nothing to do but twiddle their thumbs during that time anyway.
