Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

In is quite  uncomfortable having the image thumbnails on the right hand side of the image whereas the relevant information are kept on the left hand side of the image. Please allow swapping the position of these two as then the image overview would reside on the left hand side as it does in every other program that displays such a navigation and the file information are kept to the right of the image, again the same as every other application that allow image browsing.

This isn't a bad idea.

We could think about making all sidebars and bottom bars draggable in general, by porting to QDockWidget just like in Dolphin. It's a lot of work, though.

This would also improve or even solve Bug 196017 (I'm not sure the all-in-one collapsing thing mentioned there is a good idea, though).

Reasons for not choosing a QDockWidget initially are described in http://agateau.com/2007/crop-this-sidebar-edition/, but possibly those are not an issue anymore by now.
