Proposal: Add the dropdowns to list view.

[schnuti]

For many reasons it's more effective to work in listview than in image view. A lot more data is available. If e.g. descriptive file names are used the names get too long for the image view. The file name is enough. If I want to see it, there's the modal view (one click!)
i.e. With drop downs including the same functionality I would choose to use the listview.
