I'm pretty sure you are right and there is no way, currently, to do this. I could probably use a good stand-alone photo manager, but it would be really nice if I could see this info directly in the file manager. Could I request this feature somewhere? If not, I would like to work on implementing it myself.

Nick,

Thank you for your response. I will file that feature request on Bugzilla. Please let me know if there is any way I can help. I am not the greatest programmer, like I've said before, but, I am a very thorough troubleshooter because it's part of my job. I can scan through code and follow the logic, but to write something from scratch is difficult for me. I would be willing to run test builds and so forth to test new features. I am still very much a linux noob (running linux for about a year now), so please excuse me if I ask dumb questions.
