I think I'm going to switch this Tool to PyGTK. From my point of view this has the advantage, that I would only write that script once. Presuming we had Python+PyGTK together on the iLiad, I would than have a tool running on Linux, the iLiad and even on Windows (I think there are some nice tricks to pack the Python parts into a single .EXE). So you would be able to just put the images in a directory and let the iLiad do the work.

Personal advantage for me: I would come to learn a cross-platform script language.

Anyone care to comment?

Edit: I just got another idea: XUL (XML User Interface Language) would be another approach. Since we already have a Mozilla browser on it that is able to run XUL, why not try that.
I just have to find out if and how I can get access to the files.
