Hi everyone,

A deficiency noted by several users (including myself) in the current 
user interface is that the option to automatically delete images or not 
when downloaded is buried in the preferences. For instance, it's easy to 
forget it's turned on, which is not good if once in a while you want to 
download images from your friend's camera. The "from" and "to" could be 
made clearer too.

The obvious solution is to create a toolbar, which I've done in a rough 
format:

New toolbar

I say it's rough because it currently doesn't work, in the sense that 
changing the values currently does nothing. It might not be clear, but 
"Auto Detect" is a pushbutton. If it's pressed, the "from" file chooser 
is disabled.

What do you all think? Do you think it is ugly or ok? If ugly, the 
challenge is to come up with something that looks better, doesn't take 
up a lot of room, and is obvious to the novice and the experienced user.

I do plan that the toolbar can be turned off via the View menu.

Damon
