I was thinking of a photo viewer as my next little Python Qt application, as it scratches a personal itch. Tracker already indexes everything, so that might be a route to go down.

I would be interested in what other features people would be looking for.

I know a few things that I would personally like;
*A way to index or save image views. So that when you are looking for a certain "group" of images you can click and it filters everything. The N900 Photo app should do this however I have never got it to work properly much like the meta tag information.

*Searchable! I don't understand why this was never thought about with the default photo application. As it stands now I have to grep from the xterm on what I am looking for.

*Shortcut via text input. Being able to start the file name and have predictive text bring up a list of images which fall under that category or name.

I started a small python QT app myself last night after thinking about this. I know python well enough however I am very green when it comes to QT. If I get anything working half decent I will let you all know otherwise I will keep an eye out for alternatives.

It's pretty clear that the Photo application was never meant for large collections but neither was the built in media / music player in my opinion.

Thanks again everyone, your suggestions were wonderful!
