As a last minute submission, I'll release an update to PIV. I'll leave it up to you whether it is going to be a significant improvement or just a minor improvement, but it will at least be some improvement.
The nature of coding competitions like this is such that it gives an advantage to secret development, and a disadvantage to early and frequent releases. If I would have kept NubNub and PIV secret pet projects until after the compo announcement, they would have made pretty nice entries in the "new game" and "new application" categories. Not that I regret having released them earlier, but perhaps it is something to take into account.
Anyway, one extra feature that was often requested for PIV was thumbnail navigation. I have been coding a bit the last few days, and thumbnails will be there the next version (to be released just before the compo deadline). When you zoom out from a fully zoomed out image, it will show 2x2 pictures. Zoom out further to get 4x4, 8x8 or 16x16 pictures (or something in between like 5x5 using the zoom fine-tuning buttons , and .). In the thumbnail mode, the current image is highlighted and you can navigate with the dpad or touch. You can select, delete, and rotate images from thumbnail mode (for cropping and detailed info you still need to zoom in to one image). Since you can fit up to 256 thumbnails on the screen at the same time (at that size they are tiny of course, at most 50x30 pixels), thumbnail mode is very suitable to get an overview and to quickly see which pictures you want to delete, which you want to keep, and which you want to select for e.g. a web gallery.
