I think this would be a great feature.
I also think it would be nice if we could rename the image
files from within f-spot, according to the album name and the ordering we have set for it. And possibly the date, tag info, etc.
I know for my picture collection, I haven't really used a standard naming convention over the years, and I've gotten many pictures from friends and family with varying filenames as well. It'd be nice if I could use the photo database to enforce a consistant file naming procedure for the photo collection. This might help make searches easier outside of f-spot, and make the photo collection actually look like an organized collection.
