Mayayana,

Ofcourse.

:-) Why would the image viewer need to do any such thing ?   It only needs 
to ask me, when I press either the "next" or "previous" button, which image 
it needs to display next.   And whatdoyouknow, those two buttons have 
callback capabilities.

Nope, I currently have no idea if those callbacks will actually allow me to 
change the next image to be displayed, but as I can't really imagine another 
usage for them its rather likely they will do just that.

Which is what my current trying and searching is all about.

Damn...  There I was, thinking it would be comparable to trying to find the 
usermanual of a PVR to see if it can do something beyond the standard "play" 
and "record".  :-|

> Anyway, I don't have time to look into this

It was not my intention to put someone to work for me to figure everything 
out, I just wanted to see if someone knew a bit more about it (read: has 
information or knows where to find it) than what I can('t) find about it 
using Google.
