Hi Frederik,

My workflow:

Load GPX, load pictures for it. Use pictures to help with tagging.

Now it would be great if the EXIF header of the pictures could be 
updated to include LAT/LONG coordinates, when pressing a specific 
button. Then I'm not dependent on the original GPX/timestamp 
combinations anymore to use the pictures afterwards.

An extra bonus would be the ability to crop the pictures, so only the 
relevant parts (usually the street sign) would remain.

I realise this is probably for way down on your to do list, but maybe 
you can at least consider to let it appear on it.

Kind regards,

Jo
