That is a very good point. My work-flow has always been concentrated on
single images rather than sets of images (it is difficult enough to get one
good photo, not to even mention a greater number of good shots ;-) ) so I
didn't think of it that way.

So, there are two ways to approach this problem. What if they both were
combiner? Basically, Rawstudio could remember last used active tab for each
separate photo, BUT you could have a method (short-cuts like CTRL+A, CTRL+B
and CTRL+C, or CTRL+click on the tab name) to easily set the active tab for
ALL files in the folder in question. This way, you could either tweak
individual photos on multiple tabs (and have them opened always on the last
used tab), or select all the photos to open in certain tab (with just one
click after which all photos would open on the desired tab). Wouldn't even
be too complicated for the user to understand this functionality...   ...or
would it?

Well, the original question was about the see the thumbnails be updated. I'm
very happy to see it happen were the details anything at all :-)
