I've looked around too, but everything is either a) a simple file manager or 
b) has one too many features.

I'm somewhat surprised that the software I spoke about isn't made by 
billions of people.  I say this because the clothing industry lives on such 
software.

WIth the clothing industry, you have to deal with people in different 
countries pretty much all the time.  So shipping samples back and forth is 
really really slow.  So these guys scan *clothing* at real size with a 
billion dots per square inch.  Additionally since none of them know much 
about photoshop, they all end up with huge 20-30 meg JPEG files.  These 
files need to be traded back an forth on a regular basis, hence the need 
for such software.  (Emailing realy huge files back and forth isn't too 
possible for most.)

I'd like to have something asap.  So for the time being I'll hash out 
something simple with either bashlib or c++ (you can stop laughing now!).  
My html/xml/css/php/mysql/etc/etc/etc is pretty dismal, heh.

Thanks for the help though!
