Agreed, but for first time users it would still be a lot easier if
sorting by folders would be better implemented. I already found a
feature request from last year about this, unfortunatly without a
result so far :)
Using folders for picture-sorting is most likely the best way to not
get locked to any software (not every software supports XMP, but most
likely folders).
And marking pictures with the mousepointer definitly should be easier
(well, currently it simply doesn't work).

Well, I guess I'll have to spend some hours to get my fotos organized.
