Anders> Why do you want this? The ability to process on a server or?

We're talking Unix. Every client IS a server. :-)

Let's have a use case. I've just shot several different sessions. I do
my usual tweaking of photos in Rawstudio, and by the time I'm done, it's
late. I want to sync with my server and then let the server process the
priority 1 RAWs (both in colour and B/W), zip each series and upload
them to a web server, while I shut down the client and go to bed.

Another use case. I'm visiting the in-laws, and they'd like copies of
some pictures of their most wonderful grandchildren that I took a while
back. They only have a Windows computer and a low-latency connection. I
shell into my server at home and instruct it to process, zip and upload
as above.

The current batch processing implementation is not sufficiently advanced
that I can export to multiple destinations, use different naming patters
different for files/directories etc., and I'm not sure if it's worth it
to add this complexity (both in terms of code and UI clutter). From the
command line, however, it's trivial to do this with a series of calls to
Rawstudio.

Then postpone gtk_init() until after command line arguments have been
processed. I've done next to no GUI programming, but for the life of me
I can't imagine that this is particularly difficult.

My vacation's coming up... :-)
