I often browse through images in a folder using the arrow keys. In many cases I am looking for appropriate photos for a specific purpose. If I had these photos on a contact printing on paper I would mark the favorites with a pen, if I had single photo prints, I would sort them out accordingly.
This is something which doesn´t seem to be possible in IrfanView. For that reason I would like to propose a quite simple feature (which of course could be expanded to a complex one): A shortcut or button which toggles the state of a picture between "selected" and "not selected" (visualized by an according icon or something). Another button could provide a list of the selected picture names as plain text or something. The selection status would survive for a current session in the current folder only.
This would the most simple way of providing such a selection list. In principle it would be possible to open a scrollable side bar where all selected images are added, and when you click on one of the thumbs there the according image would be shown in the main screen again. And so forth. But following the KIS approach and for the beginning a very simply marking mechanism would be very useful.
To day I always need to manually read the file name from the title bar and note it down in a text editor which is quite annoying.
