VoloView WISH - Pretty Please ??

I found something I need in VoloView. I mean I really NEED.
I need them to put both a right arrow and left arrow Icon on the toolbar
(assign easy key commands as well).

The arrows should allow me to "walk" through all DWF files within the
*same folder*. In addition, and this is not hard, Add a small window
that indicates just how many files exist in the folder and which file
you are looking at. Can be as simple as: DOCUMENT > 3/20 (I'm on
number 3 of 20)

Example Use: I have an MS Access database for all product development. I
can easily install Hyperlinks to open a specific file, in any folder.
If I am looking in my Db at a specific part or group of parts, the
"links" I have installed there, can force open VoloView via file
association.
Using the NEW arrow Keys, I can then "walk" thru all of the DWF files
in the folder. "Walking" thru these files should happen alphabetically
so that I can apply if necessary file naming conventions that allow them
to display in a selected order, A-, B-, C-, Etc.

Unless additional configuration options were given ( file extension
defaults), DWG and RLM files would also be seen IF they were in the same
folder. I can live with that !

The whole concept allows everyone to "be on the same page". Go to the
Database, locate product, click on a link to view related Cad documents
! It works excellent now other than always being forced to use FILE>OPEN....

Bring on the NEW Arrow Buttons !!! It would be one of the best
additions to VoloView.

Thanks, I have been... All in all, especially in the world of freeware,
VVE is still the best I found. If we were to go to payware for all the
seats, A-Sketch would work for us and give us even more capability...
but I really only need a viewer.

If someone feels they have seen a better viewer WITH the "browsing"
arrows, Please indicate where. I know that even if AD thought this a
good addition, who knows when you'd ever see it ??
