On this subject, a more advanced method of syncing would also be good. 
I regularly forget to take a sync photo, but one of my photos is often 
from somewhere that I know, so I can work out pretty exactly where I 
must have been positioned to take this photo.  If I could drag a photo 
around to position it, that would be much better than my current method:

1. Sync based on first photo
2. Accept default time
3. Note where various photos appear
4. Sync again, changing time by a second or two in some direction.
5. Look at where the photos are now
6. If still not quite right, return to 4

Doubtless not top of the TODO list.  If nobody does this and I at some 
point magically get lots of free time, I'll try and do it myself.  But 
that's likely to be a matter of months, so if someone gets there first...
