I second this, with a twist: I'd like a 'title' for the photo that doesn't
change the filename.  I noticed the database stores the path to the photo
and the filename in separate columns, which seemed odd: the path could store
the entire pathname and the name field could store the title.

I'd use it for the same reason: so that photos uploaded to flickr have their
title set nicely and their description from the photos comment.
