Nah, not yet. The pygtk stuff is still new to me. It was an excuse to 
learn some python. My TODO list includes cleaning up the code and 
releasing it. I still have to write the 'scale image' script. Its just 
some ugly duct tape and bubble gum code at the core of it. The one thing 
perl has on python is that there's an imagemagic module for perl. My 
python scripts are doing lots of os.system() calls :)

However, I do believe there's a plugin site for this sort of stuff and 
lots of other people have done this.

But if ya want a tarball, I could put a cvs snapshot somewhere. Its 
nothing too terribly exciting.
