Not asking for an Image editor… but, just the ability to quickly browse through a bunch of pics by right/lift swipes, in full-screen mode.
Thanks

The request is noted but no promises.
Any update here, please?
Nope. No update on this, other than it’s an item on our long list of possibilities for the next major version of DEVONthink To Go. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hello!
Does DTTG3 have this feature… Swipe between images?
No, this has not been implemented at this point.
It’s the one feature I need 
Will hold on the upgrade, till it is implemented.
May I ask why you need it?
+1 for this feature.
Would be better if this can apply not only to image, but also other files.
My personal use case it that I keep a DevonThink mac instance open to refresh RSS and sync via iCloud, so as to use DTTG 3 as a mobile RSS client. It has an edge over other clients Reeder because I can archive the articles faster and in better format.
Also, I use DTTG quite a lot as inbox for web articles I read on mobile.
In both case I have to skim through a lot of articles quickly to read, review and decide what to keep. Now I have to press back and choose from the group every time. Adding swipe L/R will significantly boost these workflows, making DTTG a much better RSS/ batch documents reader.
Just my use case though.

Sorry for the late reply. Like I mentioned earlier, for me, this was the make-or-break feature for a continued relationship with DTTG, and I have moved away from using DT as my main repository.
Being a designer/ architect, I tend to work and think visually. As such I have a lot of reference images → downloaded from the web/ internally developed renderings/ pics of works in progress/ completed works/ reference images sent in by clients/ students works/ my own scanned-in hand-drawn sketches, screenshots of work done on CAD, etc.
Photos.app on iOS & Mac is not capable enough to handle this diversity of image-information, or the sifting and sorting necessary for me to understand my pictorial database. At least not the way I want to. Photos.app is great for storing & viewing photos of family, friends, vacations and pets. It is not a work tool.
I have set up a folder system on iCloud in which any images dropped, get automatically renamed and tagged as per my system You can read more about my tagging system on my blog post here …. This system allows me to understand connections between images (and the data contained in them) regardless of their separation by folders/clients/projects/or years.
DevonThink was lovely in letting me deep-dive using tags and file names. BUT, having to press back and choose from a group every single time, defeats the purpose for me to use DT in the first place. Visual thinking, and working with visuals, both necessitate the interface to be fast. A sign of good design is when it doesn’t get between me and my work.
It is incorrect to assume that information/research/knowledge can only be textual in nature. As far as my use-case is concerned, DT & DTTG have got to have the Swipe L/R feature.

as a part time photographer I also (want to) use DT2Go to present my photos, e. g. wedding or other ‚events‘ - together with all other needed documents, e. g. order confirmation, on-site checklists, release docs, contact information - I create those docs e. g. while on the road and update them face-to-face with my (potential) customers on the event location, etc.
Just swiping through the images would be cool.

Though I’ve seen a couple posts on this topic, this seems to be the one with the most productive conversation, so please forgive the resurrection if I missed something on this. This is a long post, but I believe there to be a good reason.
TLDR: I think this is one good feature among several that could significantly expand the potential market of DEVONthink To Go.
Through sheer happenstance, I needed somewhere to store hobbyist photography shots for later reference and I didn’t want to add them to my iOS photo library due to conflating family and hobby images. After looking at the App Store, I didn’t see anything that really fit my desired style of app: a good organizational system that is separate from iOS photos, private/secure, and easy to use. An additional benefit would be using my iCloud storage for syncing / “backup.” I didn’t find anything and I already have DTTG and DEVONthink for Mac, so I figured I’d at least store the images temporarily there. I tried using DTTG for photo viewing/organizing and fell flat on my face because of this seemingly simple issue (note: as Jim stated above, I’m assuming it isn’t, though it would seem to be from an outsider’s perspective).
However, Shortcut support dragged me back to DTTG as a possibility since I was able to extract quite a bit of information from certain pieces of metadata data that I originally saved with the files. I found the extensibility to be incredibly helpful to the overall process of using DTTG as part of my workflow. However, the UI issue remained.
Then, just to see if there was any benefit on using the desktop version of DT (most of my desktop usage is with document storage), I set up syncing for this particular database, and I was surprised to see that the desktop app has multiple wonderful interfaces for viewing/editing images. I tend to use DTTG significantly more than DT because of ease of access and the fact that DT has to have all data downloaded at all times.
I believe that if DTTG had many of the features for photos that DT has (multi-pane viewing, resizable grid view, simultaneous inspector panel, etc), it would be a useful, secure (encryption), portable (multiple sync avenues), and personal (groups/tags/etc) tool for artists and other creatives to store and categorize their photos and other art, especially as many people continue to move towards mobile devices.
Enhanced photo capabilities and new market possibilities can start with something as “simple” as QOL updates when moving from one image to another.
