Bit confusing with open-circle having different meanings.

Hi,

A minor niggle, but it's a bit confusing with open-circle having different meanings, depending on context.
Tick-circle deals with selected images in both image grid and status bar, and other symbols are unique, so I'm fine with those.
But not all clients will bother to read the instructions, and even I got confused when I came back after 2 days, and tried to
play newbie-client (I was very convincing).
I also feel that tick-circle could be a toggle rather than act with dot-circle.
Guess I should have signed up for the beta test, huh ?

Otherwise I love the plug-in, by the way....

UI is a tough nut. We use FontAwesome for our UI elements, so feel free to browse what's there. If you think there are icons that would better communicate the intent, we're open to suggestions.

Re: Bit confusing with open-circle having different meanings.

I guess I would be happy just if the open-circle conflict went away.
(My intuition was that the status bar icons were global versions of the grid icons, so expected open-circle to unselect all, or at least do something with unselected images).
So how about 'show all images' being filled-circle ?
Then there is a natural pattern from filled-circle to dot-circle to tick-circle as more is shown.
But like I said, it's a minor niggle, and I won't cry if you want to keep it as it is.
And here's my version of the text explanation : http://frozentime.se/temp/crg_show
