After being able to (finally) use the photo feature in Agendus, I decided to play around and found some annoying problems.

1) There HAS to be some kind of thumbnail support when viewing the file listing. There is nothing more annoying than clicking on 10 photo's to view each one rather than just seeing all of them in thumbnail form.

Because the Agendus Avatar Pack is listed in filenames that can't really identify more than the fact that the image is of either a male or female, this feature would just make sense.

2) There should be some way of having Agendus remember the last directory accessed for retrieving a photo or giving the user the ability to select a default directory for photos. This would help to speed up the operation of creating a record with a photo.

Agreed. What about having agendus utilize a third party viewer? There could be an option placed in preferences allowing the user to specify a program to use to view photos. Many apps are doing this. Resco File explorer has this option.

Yes, I really think that would be the way to go. I can see that if Agendus ever gets file linking capabilities, it wouldn't matter if there were no thumbnails, but for attaching a photo to a task - well, it's important to see those thumbnails! :D
