I am not sure what I should think of it yet. The problem I have is that
I don't see the real benefit in it, besides of smoother scrolling, and
it looks quite strange (possibly because of the buttons). Maybe it's
just too obvious to me. :)

We should keep an option to re-enable the file labels as it is hard to
identify your images if you are looking at a bunch of nearly identical
images.

I found another possible one:

- It seems to have a redrawing issue when several images change at once
and the widget size changes. I was not yet able to fully explore the
issue so this is a rough explanation. It showed up when I tested my
EogJobSave patch on multiple images. But it's not showing up everytime.
