[Enhancement] Real Batch Mode (better workflow)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First: This is an enhancement, not an bug. I can not switch from issue to 
enhancement.

Situation: I want to work on a few pictures in photivo. 
Following Workflow: Work on image 1 -> wait till fullsize is finished -> Work 
on image 2 -> wait till fullsize is finished -> etcpp.

You can also create job files, but afaik these are per image and not for more 
than 1 image with more than 1 setting. 

Idea #1: Give photivo a "fullsize in background"-button. It uses 1 or 3 cores 
to produce the fullsize image in background while I can work already on the 
next image with the not used cpu core.

Idea #2: Give photivo a real job list. You work through evey image, and 
afterwards photivo creats fullsize outputs on its own from every image (and you 
go drink coffee). 

Idea #1 / #2 are alternatives, both are not needed together. 

If this already exists in a better way than using single job files per image, 
tell me =)

Thx!

Well, when I first read it I had no time, and then I forgot about your 
posting...

It is currently possible to process several files with one job file, just 
select more files when you create the job file.

A new job file interface is on our list, but also very low, since we both don't 
use it, so it's more of a maintenance thing for us...

I used a shell script that implements idea #2. I saved settings for all my 
images as .pts files and afterwards used my script to convert them into .ptj 
files (it's very easy, you just have to add two lines in each .pts file). After 
that you can process all these job files with Photivo using another simple 
script.
