There's a quick Flash animation of this concept on the net. It would be great if XYplorer can do something like this to speed up the experience of viewing multiple images and side-by-side! So users can jump to any picture in a folder a lot faster than viewing forward/back one pic at a time.
BTW: There used to be a program called PicWalker 4.2 that does similar to this, but it is no longer developed--and the implementation wasn't perfect.
