Bug Description

When I double click on a picture, I often want to see other pictures in the same folder.
But there's no prev/next button available !

Go to the parent folder with Alt+end then double click on the picture and... MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR... a lot of buttons appear ! (Next/Prev/Comment/ ...)

This behaviour is really non-intuitive and non-consistant. A lot of users are complaining about this around me.

My suggestion is simply open all pictures as if they were opened in the gthumb folder view
