Yeah, I wasn't seriously thinking this would become part of mainline,
it was just for those who were interested in patching the source for
themselves.

I dunno, I've seen a number of friends (phtographers most of them)
update their cover picture every so often, sometimes something like
once a week.

However:

This was something I was trying, but something doesn't quite seem to
work.  I just check the manual, and as I understand it, I should be
able to type 850:315, but I only start getting feedback from dt when I
type :, then it will show me everything I type after it...  anything
before the first colon seems to be simply ignored.

Agreed.
