I know it's not ideal, but it's better than two _different_ numbers
showing up as happens now if all your images are numbered to start
with -- I always start my photos files names with a number (usually
starting with 001 or 01) so that they appear in the order they were
taken when one lists them or does a slide show using GQview or
whatever. 

Here is an example of two different numbers (and my
_not_yet_completed_ XHTML templates) and an image without a border
(commenting that line works :-):

I think the 011 and 10 are silly, the 10 doesn't even work for
ordering since 10 comes before 9!

Another option that I was thinking about would be to perhaps use
filenames or directory names starting with a . for some things, eg:

  /example.jpg
  /.example.jpg/thumbnail.jpg
  /.example.jpg/small.jpg
  /.example.jpg/medium.jpg
  /.example.jpg/large.jpg

But I think just using files might be better.

Anyhow the sun is shining and I think I should go outside and take
some more photos :-)
