In this I select a picture file JFileChooser. It works, but because there are more as 1.000 photos it is a little bothersome to select the correct photo. With Gwenview I can see minatures of the photos. Would it be possible to select a photo in Gwenview and drop it on my application? That would make live much easier. Of-course I would prefer a system independent way, so if someone would use my application on Windows it works also. -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof
