-==== Rationale ==== 
-When looking at/through images, we hardly want to see a single picture. Most people expect an image-viewer to open all images within a folder. 
  
-**Typical scenario:** 
-  * A user browses through his/her image-collection in Thunar, decides to open an image of a wedding. 
- 
-__Currently:__ 
-  * Ristretto displays the image, nothing else (thumbnailbar only shows this one image). Controls don't do anything. If the user wants to view other images of that event/folder, he/she has to either close Ristretto and then open another image via Thunar or use the "Open Folder" menuitem/toolbar-item and navigate to the correct folder. 
- 
-__Proposed behavior:__ 
-  * Ristretto opens the whole folder by default and displays all images in that folder in the thumbnailbar. The user can immediately navigate using the arrow keys. 
- 
- 
-==== Consequences ==== 
- 
-  * Merge the "Open" and "Open Folder" menuitems/toolbar-items 
-  * Drop the "Close" and "Close all" menuitems/toolbar-items, within the folder-concept those don't make any sense any more because: 
-    * either the user wants to open another folder, then "close" is an unnecessary intermediary step 
-    * or the user wants to stop looking at images all-together, then closing the application is the correct action
