Nah, I just did what I needed.

Doing complete folders and queuing up conversions would definately be features. You say you specifically want to drag folders and files? I actually forgot all about dragging and dropping.

When I wanted to make a .NET version, I've made an interface where I could just drop folders and files. The program would list the files, and I could edit the metainfo I want to put in the lrf in a spreadsheetway.
(never went further than a halfworking prototype though, didn't had the time)

What do you mean by book thumbnails?
|
The LRF-format has an option to use one thumbnail-image. Bookdesigner can set something like that.
It won't be viewable in the sony reader, but it's available in the readersoftware. And who knows, maybe in the future a firmware would be out which would display the coverthumbnails for each book.

Parallel processing: I think rasterfarian 2.5 is one of the only multi-threaded batch files on earth. It runs on dual-core cpus out of the box, and you can configure it to launch more threads as well (the threads normally use a lot of ram, so the default's low). the next version would also be multithreaded. I was also toying with the idea of making rasterfarian distributed, so you could have all the pcs in your house help you process. But that probably won't be in the next version.

I've set my version to run at 8 cores, but img-processing isn't even the real slowdown. It makes optimal use of the CPU, but eventually creating an LRF could take hours and another queued item can't start before that lrf is created.
