If Tumme is intended to be or to become a general editor/browser/viewer of the images in one or more directories, then that sounds Dired-like. In that case, since Emacs users are already used to Dired, how about using "dired" in the name: `dired-images' or `dired-img'? My guess would be that the "thumbnail" aspect is not the most important one for this feature - nearly all image editors/browsers/viewers use thumbnail images. What is important for naming is that this is an editor/browser/viewer of the images contained in a directory. If I'm right about what Tumme does, I wonder if it shouldn't just be integrated with Dired at some point (after the release)? In Windows Explorer, for instance (the closest thing MS Windows has to Dired), showing thumbnail images is just a display option - like Dired's sorting or its display/hiding of certain fields. When images are present in a directory, Dired could offer the additional key bindings etc. that provide the features of Tumme. Again, I'm not familiar with Tumme, so ignore this if it is off-base.
