If I am looking at a folder and a new photo arrives, the thumbnail bar updates to show the new image. Can I get the program to display that new image immediately?

Yes, ImageGlass will watch all the changes in the folder.
If there are any changes: file deletion, file rename, file creation, file data change,... it will auto update the list and the viewing image.

Note that, if you drag multiple folders into the ImageGlass window, only the first folder is being watched.

It watches the folder, but it does not change the displayed image. How can I get it to display the new image automatically?

Here is a video showing the problem. The currently displayed image does not change as new images arrive.

Oh so you want the new image to be displayed on the main view.
I thought some problems about the thumbnails bar does not update the image list when there are changes in the folder.

The video shows the correct behaviour of ImageGlass. It just does not support this.
