==== Description: ====
Tagger is currently in my code pile at:
http://synx.us.to/code/imageTagger/
It's currently functional, if a bit bare bones, with a few unpleasantries.

Tagger is a suite of programs for storing and arranging images, by giving
them arbitrary keyword tags. The main resident program (main.py) creates a
system tray icon, onto which you drag and drop images. (Try it from a picture
in Firefox.) A dialog pops up prompting you for tags, as well as listing some
tags you've selected recently and often. Once submitted, the image is
downloaded. Its origin URL, tags, content, and a thumbnail are saved to the
database.  Currently it's just a teeny little sqllite file, but could be
scaled easily since sqlalchemy supports many forms of SQL databases.

A second program displays and narrows down a selection of images by tag. The
remaining available tags are on the left, and the remaining available images
are on the right. Double clicking (activating) a tag will add it to the
selected tags list on top, and will narrow down both the list of available
tags and available images. Activating an image will bring up a dialog
displaying the image at its full size, with an option to export that image to
a file (for uploading, sharing etc), or modifying the tags of that file, or
deleting that image from the database.

I imagine a third program will edit, merge, delete, and rename the tags
themselves.

==== Other Comments: ====
myImagetypes.py is a dirty, dirty hack. I'm sorry #python. Blame PIL.

Speaking of licensing, PIL is released under an MIT style license:
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/license.htm
gtk/gdk/glib is LGPL licensed:
http://www.gtk.org/
rdjpgcom/wrjpgcom is released under an MIT style license... I think. Nobody
has licensing issues with the IJG though.

I made my little system tray icon library using the code from GMPC, which is
released under the GPL.

No, I am not fond of reinventing the wheel.

I plan to release this tagger software under the GPL.
