Re: Thinking about an application...

Mike - I've been thinking about this as well.  Ideally, it would offer the
following:

1) Configurable upload location with a few options for auto-directory
hierarchy creation
2) Easy interface to categorize pictures.  Maybe a couple of spinners for
major and minor categories?
3) Allow marking individual pictures for printing.  So this copies photos to
a "Next Printing" directory, and then you just burn that folder to a CD.
4) Allow wildcard copies.  Example: My Nikon D70 has a RAW + Basic JPEG mode
that saves both the Nikon NEF raw format and a JPEG for every photo taken.
The JPEGs allow easy viewing on the Roku, but I also want to save the NEF
files for post-processing.  So when you select a photo to copy, it would be
nice to copy DSC_0012.* or DSC_0012.[NEF|JPG] for instance.

Just some thoughts to get the ball rolling.
