Syncing photos

I've just joined this list, so please forgive me if there is a specific
protocol for suggesting new features, but I have something I think should be
added (and as far as I know it won't take much work). While dragging files
to the applet works if they are prc or pdb files, the most recent generation
of palm pilots also include a photo viewer. When installing a file other
that a prc or pdb, it doesn't work.

Currently the only way to add a photo to a palm is to use the utility here:
http://djw.org/product/palm/par/index.html
As described in the article here: http://www.pilot-link.org/node/225

The utility compiles and functions properly under Ubuntu Gutsy beta, and is
released under the Mozilla Public License. I believe that it would be quite
simple to include this utility as part of gnome-pilot, and have the applet
recognize when it is being asked to sync a jpg rather than a prc or pdb. It
would then convert the photo to a pdb with the utility and copy it at the
next sync using the pre-existing file conduit.

What do you think?

Evan
