Well, the developers did say they liked the idea, but they didn't have 
time to work on it...

I've run into similar frustrations, but I've had good experiences hiring 
coders on www.vworker.com to develop patches for not-that-much 
money-wise. (An example: 5 years ago, I wanted gThumb to be able to 
print the full path and filename under a printed photo. $200 got me the 
patch I needed, and I submitted it for inclusion in gThumb. It was 
accepted. Another $200 got a redeye-removal tool into gThumb.)

This came out of a company software budget, which might not apply to 
you... but if it does, you might want to think about it.
