Well, I've started hacking in support for the BINS picture format into Gthumb. This isn't say that Gthumb in inferior, it is just that I like that format better. And, actually, it isn't really the format as much as the fact that the descriptions are in the same directory as the pictures themselves. This allows me to store them in the same subversion database, and move them arround together.

I've got the first part done, I was happy with how quickly I could do that. All the Gthumb code that I've looked at is nicely modular and easy to play with. My biggest problem now is that I want more fields than Gthumb currently supports. This will be a touch of a headache as I'll probably have to end up touching more files than the one I'm currently playing with.
