This is the current todo for tumme and actually there are only two
things missing compared to thumbs.el (if we want/need them in the
first place) and those are marked below:

;; TODO
;; ====
;;
;; * Some sort of auto-rotate function based on rotate info in the
;; EXIF data.
;;
;; * Check if exiftool exist before trying to call it to give a better
;; error message.
;;
;; * Investigate if it is possible to also write the tags to the image
;; files.
;;

-----> Add an option for clean-up/max-size functionality for thumbnail
-----> directory.

-----> Add setroot function from thumbs.el

;; * Asynchronous creation of thumbnails.
;;
;; * Add `tumme-display-thumbs-ring' and functions to cycle that.  Find
;; out which is best, saving old batch just before inserting new, or
;; saving the current batch in the ring when inserting it.  Adding it
;; probably needs rewriting `tumme-display-thumbs' to be more general.
;;
;; * Find some way of toggling on and off really nice keybindings in
;; dired (for example, using C-n or <down> instead of C-S-n).
;;
;; * Enhanced gallery creation with basic CSS-support and pagination
;; of tag pages with many pictures.
;;
;; * Rewrite `tumme-modify-mark-on-thumb-original-file' to be less
;; ugly.
;;
;; * In some way keep track of buffers and windows and stuff so that
;; it works as the user expects.
;;
;; * More/better documentation

Btw, tumme 0.4.10, which is not released yet, has the changes
regarding central or per-directory thumbnail storage, as we discussed
earlier in this thread.
