Suggestion for 1.6

Speaking of 1.6, I'd surely like a small improvement in photo(App): be able to 
run a slideshow from a text list of images. 

Rationale: It's extremely unlikely that the alphabetical order of the image 
filenames in a collection from your recent vacation is the order that you 
want to show the images.  Yes, you can use the current software if these 
images are copied to a new directory, and suitably renamed, but this goes 
against everything you've learned about how to manage databases, and also 
suggests that next, you'll want to banish links, desktop shortcuts, and the 
like<g>.

Identified by a suitable extension, this file would contain either full path 
names to each image or relative paths (doesn't really matter).  Conceptually, 
this only means replacing the current alphabetically sorted list that the 
display software uses with one provided by the user.  Note that images might 
well not be in the directory that contains the image list.

Another approach would be to augment ecp with a new command:
  ecp  photoApp  BUTTON_WAIT  [timeout]
The return value would give which button had been pressed on the remote, or a 
value of NONE if the timeout timer had expired.  With this functionality, one 
could prepare scripts to drive a slideshow with any desired image order, and 
with the ability to go forwards and backwards within that order.
