Would anyone be interested in making a Windows 7 desktop gadget that does a slideshow of animated gifs?

If you know javascript well enough I am pretty sure it is just a question of modifying C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\SlideShow.Gadget\en-US\js\slideShow.js

The reason I'm asking is I downloaded all 125 of these and a desktop gadget seems like the easiest way to make them in to animated desktop backgrounds.

I've been wanting to sort my >1TB collection of pictures that are in Canon's CR2, Panasonic's RW2, and regular DNG RAW formats. Preferably it would organize by date folders in this fashion (nested folders): YEAR -> YEAR_MONTH -> YEAR_MONTH_DAY. I've found a program that does exactly that but it's Windows only and doesn't support Panasonic's RAW format (the program is called PhotoMove in case anyone is interested). The latter isn't a big deal, I could use Adobe's converter to convert them to DNGs. Could someone write up a Python script (preferably in Python3) that will do this by reading the picture's EXIF data (date shot) and would work on Windows, Mac, and Linux? I tried doing this but its a bit beyond my skill level at the moment. Or maybe someone knows of a script or program that will do this?

How feasible would it be to have a text overlay for images that showed info you'd normally need to hover for. I'm guessing javascript is the way to do it. For example, any given fan site will have a gallery of thumbnails that you click to go to the bigger stuff. http://photos.adele-adkins.net/thumbnails.php?album=62 (work safe)
If you hover over any thumbnail you'll get basic information about the link beyond it, specifically the destination image's dimensions. It wouldn't be thumbnail's dimensions but rather the information that displays when you hover the thumbnail (found plenty of javascript solutions that would report the thumbnail's dimensions). Looking at the Source it seems that stuff like that is included in the Title section of the href. Such as:
code:
 <a href="displayimage.php?album=62&pid=2100#top_display_media"><img src="albums/Events/2013/February102013-The55thAnnualGRAMMYAwards/thumb_00004.jpg" 
class="image" width="125" height="125" border="0" alt="00004.jpg" title="Filename=00004.jpg
Filesize=683KiB
Dimensions=1232x2048
Date added=Feb 11, 2013" /><br /></a>
In my mind, this is what it could look like:


Basically hoover up any Dimensions= text and overlay that on images (maybe white text black shadow/outline). Is that possible? Perhaps with a keystroke toggle like Ctrl+Alt+i so it only gets run when you want it to.
Edit: Positioning on the image isn't really important if it's difficult to find the bottom right corner, especially if you can toggle it on or off with a shortcut.

I am very curious about this little crescendo


Would somebody be able to either write me or link me to an app that already exists that can take a folder full of files and arrange them into new folders for burning onto the smallest amount of DVDs?

I believe this is called the bin packing problem.

OSX preferred, Windows will do as well. Both? You can have my first born.

It is also commonly known as the "knapsack" problem, and I think this does what you're asking for: http://superuser.com/questions/8546...o-multiple-dvds

I've heard 'Burn To The Brim' mentioned for this, but I've never used it and don't know if it has a Mac version.
