OR in addition, take the behavior of the Preview app. If you drag a
bunch of images onto it, you have the option of opening them all in
one window with an index drawer or opening them all in separate
windows. You would have to hack that together with timers or checking
ticks since the last file was opened or something if you wanted to do
it in RB. And it would be a hack and subject to being broken by large
images or slow machines or something like that. I'll go sign on.
