I have done scavenger hunts through SF looking for Image Management apps before, but AFAICT they all centre around using PHP to create web-galleries, which isn't exactly what I want. What qualifies, IMHO, as "Image Management", is an application like IMatch (www.photools.com). The question of a Linux version was posed on the (Google groups) forum, some time ago, but the response was the archetypal "We don't do Linux" - to paraphrase. I really don't have the time to download and try out the plethora of PHP-Web-Galley software on SF, to see if it is true "Image Management" or not (i.e. EXIF/IPTC/XMP editing, metadata searching, backup and database support, etc.), but if someone can say with authority that such an application exists, then they'd really make my day, since this particular functionality is the very last thread tying me to Mr Gates' so-called Operating System. - K.
