This is something that I'd like to do sometime soon.

Hopefully we can tweak the datatree driver to get better performance out of
ansel.

I gotta admit, that interface is pretty sweet.  I especially like the drop
shadows.

> - ability to dynamically rebuild thumbnails

Not sure what you mean by dynamically rebuild thumbnails.  Ansel can 
regenerate
all of the thumbnails in a gallery if necessary.  Currently, it requires
changing the thumbnail size for a gallery, but certainly this can be expanded.

Also nice.  I've contemplated on a simular feature for a while, but 
haven't come
up with anything concrete yet.

I use imagemagick with ansel & couldn't be happier.

Some excellent points here.  Thanks for doing the research.

The image-moving feature I just committed uses the same hack that you 
put in the
XP Publishing.  This should help me track the problem down easier, since I
won't have to boot into windows to test it.  I just didn't want to duplicate
any efforts made by anybody else.  So, we'll see what happens now :)
