OK - I was just offering to do some of the donkey
work...

I thought as much, just thought I'd ask just to make
sure.

I think you misunderstand - I just want/need the jpeg
data (i.e. the file contents). Its just that if the
app already has the file open - it seems silly to have
to re-open (or download if its a non-local URL) the
file. And likewise I'd like to return the modified
data - and not save back to a file.

Well it should be fairly simple - just a matter of
using camera:/, or mounting the required folder, then
scanning it for images...

But I want the images renamed before they're saved to
disk. i.e. open
file:/media/sda1/dcim/100olymp/123.jpg, read exif
data, and save to disk as /photos/New/2004-06-18
14:23:01.jpg
