It seems to be very easy to use, so much so that developers prefer to use it when GdkPixbuf could give them all the basics without an extra dependency, but maybe GdkPixbuf is just a little too basic? A thorough HIG review is always a good thing but if you are stuck for time you can often get easier short term gains by embracing and extending ideas from another application with a similiar user interface. Gourmet is a program for managing recipe collections but you might also be able to borrow ideas or share code with other collection managers, maybe from Griffith a movie collection manager also written in python.

My wife has been using this since fc2 or fc3, so now that I moved her box over to fc6 I was going to pick up the maintainership of the package. I'm in the process of de-orphaning it now. I was actually going to submit this to extras-development for a build this evening. Do you want to maintain this? I'm certaintly not going to fight you for it. -jef cough…..
