thanks for the pointer - digikam is a handy app indeed

yes this is what i was initially thinking about - then after reading a 
bit realized that anything over 768 x 576 (or similar) would give no 
benefit? am i wrong about this? I don't really understand this still 
image resolution in video thing... from what i see, final cut resizes 
images on import too.
