i'm not sure what it means. keyboard layout switches ? languages switches ?
there's no rightclick menu ASAICS

great ! ^^

btw how would gcmd work under kde ?

i installed a ubuntu clone (linux mint) yesterday, just to update myself once 
more. 
Looks like they use a wrapper to select gksu or kdesu depending on the 
environment.
Well, that's a task for the distribution, we have for example the debian 
'alternatives', and then apps would choose the generic 'system' default

btw it produced a crash when i searched for any file from dir /tmp/orbit, but 
re-adjusted the search dir to /tmp

what was that ? never noticed

>  * Fixed problem with setting equal pane size in horizontal mode

it comes to my mind that using that more often would be handy.
btw howbout implementing dynamic keyboard shortcuts ?

nice ! ^^

even more nice ^^

i'm using that every day, i'll keep an eye

>  * Support for metadata tags in internal viewer

basically, great !

and a good starting point.
well, if you've ever feeling bored...:
resizing the image window (widget) would be desirable, too. Mostly, to see 
image as small as possible, together with a meta tag list as long as possible

(just in preparation of the day when we can 'move' to next image via shortcut, 
and then, could compare different foto settings immediately at a look)

(of course, one day to have 'check displayed tags' like in gqview...but ok, no 
worry)

there's 2 widget resize grips, one in the scrollbar and the other in the image 
widget edge (bottom right) but both are not enabled.

>  * Support for single-click open mode

wrx but i don't use it, so i can't tell about usability

>  * Support for row alternate background in colour themes

i hate this effect, but ok some people seem to like it

>  * New colour theme: cafezinho

nice ^^

uhm, err... docs ... ?

este trabajo está muy bueno

great !

wrx

>       ALT+ENTER      Show metadata tags

wrx,  but only one way (one time)

personally, i don't like this alt+enter here. There's no clean logic. 
Alt+Enter in intview should display the same as in file list view, the whole 
info thing. 
meta-tags is only part of it. It could be achieved in the file properties with 
't' shortcut too.
that would be more consistent, imho.
