Would it be possible to have a preference allowing the image toolbar to be turned off? It currently appears automatically when you are in thumbnails mode. While I can see the logic of this, it can be annoying. For instance you may have large folders of Music albums which you want to look at in thumbnail view to get a look at the covers. Obviously if you want to edit any of this albums - change tags, burn to Cd etc - you want to use mp3 editing tools and burning tools. Surely you can make a toolbar for these tasks appear, but the Imaging toolbar remains in place, because you are in thumbnails mode.
Also there are many different "image" files which need to be treated differently. You need different tools for PDFs and EPS files. Again making a toolbar for those tasks is no problem, but I can never get rid of the Imaging toolbar without manually closing it down. Or am I missing something?
