Please consider incorporating a high speed thumbnail gallery viewer that can
make good use of embedded JPEGs in JPG, RAW, etc.
I have a images stored on NAS which I sometimes access over a slower connection
(ie wifi). Each image has a good resolution embedded JPEG to facilitate
browsing.
On a Windows machine, this works very well with Windows Explorer quickly
rendering large icons from the embedded thumbnails very quickly -- even over a
slow connection.
OSX does not seem to make any use of the embedded thumbnails, or if it does it
seems to do so very inefficiently.
Xee is fantastic when rendering a single image, but does not include a gallery
view making it hard for me to quickly get a bird's eye view of an entire
directory/gallery.
It seems that the Apple's Aperture product has some moves in this direction,
drawing a distinction between "embedded JPEG", "thumbnails" and "previews":

The part I care about is to quickly be able to get a bird's eye view of a large
number of images in a directory -- even over a slow connection. A gallery view
using embedded JPEG images seems to be a good way to achieve this.
