As far as I can tell, this pretty well describes what the thing does :-) > Feel free to test the package if you have time.

I can't promise that I'll find time to have deeper a look at this after until my vacation (which is the reason for my long delay in answering)... I'm about to head into one month of scuba diving vacation...and super busy with last preparations :-) At a first glance though, everything looks ok, the only thing I'd change: I wouldn't suggest sxiv as image viewer (or does the program actually invoke it (or any image viewer)[0]? IMHO an image viewer is something such basic, that it doesn't justify a suggest/recommends (unless the program would really invoke it from code, e.g. as gnupg can make use of xloadimage). Everyone uses it's own preferred viewer anyway... For full perfectionism: You refer to the blog in README.Debian: Best would of course be, if one would ask Jesse whether that text is free as well, and one would push is as documentation proper to upstream ;-) Thanks for your great work so far :-) Chris.
