Some years ago I had the same problem. I wrote a simple app with pygtk. You get get it from here: http://guettli.sourceforge.net/gthumpy/src/README.html The next pictures get loaded in background. Switching from one image to the next is faster then in some other apps. But somehow it is not ready for the public. I guess I am the only one who uses it.
Flags are symlinks in the home directory .local/share/app/gthumpy. This means you should not move your images, otherwise the flags get lost. I don't think it will work on ms-windows, but it could be ported. Or you use mirage: http://mirageiv.berlios.de/index.html It is a pygtk image viewer. You can define shortcuts that execute user defined commands. Thomas samwyse schrieb: > I have several thousand photographs that I need to quickly classify, > all by myself.
