Comment(by garycmartin):

 Replying to [comment:10 sdz]:
 > Wow. This is absolutely great work, thanks! Well, the least I can do is
 to take all the files and put them (using the copy-to-journal command) on
 the image.

 Fab :-)

 also work to take a .zip file and just unzip it in a fitting directory
 while composing the build.

 Yep, that seems like a potential improvement as well (gets us preview
 image metadata and title_set_by_user). I've not tried it yet here, but I
 think a zip of each (or all) entry into a folder named with the first two
 letters may well be enough. Think datastore db/index side should auto
 generate/recover from this OK (but should test to make sure).
