hi! the viewer is very nice, 1 thing though, could you show us how to make it load images faster? like creating worker threads to load the image? i've been experimenting in the same project and i had trouble with displaying the images. i could load the pixbufs but could not place most of the images into a canvas if it was done in a separate thread. wherein the canvas widget is on the main thread, and the pixbuf was created on a different thread. everytime the main thread finishes, no more images can be placed by the other thread into the canvas.
