My wishlist for the plugin would include:
-- Reading exif info from the imagefile
-- ~~Keeping the full resolution image files out of version control~~ Solved this by simply creating a underlay for the images. Works out of the box for my non cgi workflow.

+- ~~Reading exif info from the imagefile~~

- Being able to create new albums by tag or by manually picking images from other albums. Could be a simple comma separated list of viewer names, or even full urls, in the album directive.
- A counter showing **current image/total number of images in album**. This would mean that you know how many images you have left to click through before you have seen all images in an album. This gives you enought info to decide weather to click through or go back/leave.
or the same techniques, useful: it contains images with a realistic pixel
count, but very very lossy JPEG compression, to keep the size in bytes low.

It's much, much easier to review changes if you use separate commits for
cosmetic changes like "separate index CSS from viewer CSS" and "more
consistent indentation", and functional changes like turning the prev/next
the cosmetic changes if they were in commits that were literally only
cosmetic changes, with no functional effect.

For the functional bits: I think I'd have used floating boxes instead of the
absolutely-positioned boxes that are currently used if they provided the effect
I wanted. I can't remember exactly why I didn't do that now, but
that matches both our requirements?
