Photo organizer for FreeBSD?

  Hi,

Can you tell me what kind of software should I use for
organizing 
photos? Here are my requirements:

- should be able to handle many photos (right now we are
using Picasa on 
Ubuntu but for 100 000+ photos it is very slow and
unstable)
- should be able to save comments/annotations for the photos
(I do not 
like Picasa because it uses a special database for that. I
would like to 
have txt files saved in the same directory where the photos
are, or 
something similar.)
- should have a full text search feature (search for photos
with given 
keywords)
- should run on Windows and FreeBSD. (Actually, I would like
to burn 
self-starting DVDs, so a Python or Perl based GUI would be
great)

Well, if there is a web server based solution, that is fine
with me, I 
need to burn photos to DVDs and be able to use them.

Can you recommend something from the ports tree? Or should I
write my 
own program?

Thanks,

   Laszlo

You can trivially do this with the convert command. Refer to
my article.

This can be easily done. I would guess there would be a
third party tool
to do this.

I wonder if netpbm or ImageMagick is available in Cygwin or
in some
other form in Windows.

You can try this web based solution. I have never tried it,
but
apparently it would do a lot of heavy-lifting for you.

ImageMagick is available native for Windows.
