I did a small z3 adapter, interface, browserview in my ATPhotoAlbum that i 
used so that user can define sorting (id, exif date time, reverse)
via action menu. Was thinking about to merge this to ATCT in a more generic 
way so that user could define other attributes via UI (giving a new
action tab [z3 view]).
Is this plan for 2.5 or was it for yesterday ?
