Hey Steve,
This seems like it would quite an easy thing to implement (said by a non-programmer, so you should probably take it with a grain of salt
)
But what iTunes does is give you these options:
1. sync all photos in My Pictures
2. sync only specified folders
3. sync with Adobe Photo album -- here it looks like you get no choice, it's all photos in the album
Then, it gives you a choice of whether you want to *also* copy the full resolution files.
When you do the sync, iTunes "optimizes" the photos you've chosen for the iPod (makes 'em *much* smaller and fits 'em to the screen) and then copies them over to the Photos folder on the iPod.
I did not choose to copy the full resolution files, but I can see many would want to do that if they are actually using the iPod as a hard drive to transfer stuff to another computer.
At any rate, compared to the complexities of music management, this seemed awfully simple to me (and I have LOTS of ideas how I would like to make it better
).
Just trying to keep the conversation alive
