-==========================================
-todo app wise
-- general refactoring
-- sys.exit(1) for errors -- how to handle? Not good to simply sys.exit() from
-    any random part of code (can leave things in a mess)
-- consider context managers for handling compression, so as to keep operations
-    atomic and/or rollback-able
-- add a recursive option on the command-line for use with -d
-- make -f accept a list of files
-- make the current verbose be "normal", and make -verbose print the commandline
-    app prints as well
-- verify that a *recompressed* file is smaller than the compressed one
-
-todo else
-- figure out dependencies for a .deb/how to make a .deb <- via launchpad
-- figure out how to make mac and win versions (someone else :) <- via gui2exe
-
-todo later
-- use multiprocessing lib to take advantage of multicore/multi-CPU to compress
-    multiple files simultaneously (threads have issues in Python; see "GIL")
-
-===========================================
-later versions:
-    animate compressing.gif
-    allow selection/deletion of rows from table (and subsequently the imagelist)
-    check for double files when adding
-    punypng api? http://www.gracepointafterfive.com/punypng/api
-    imagemagick/graphicsmagick?
-    always on top option
-    notification area widget
-    intelligently recompress, i.e. go through the list of files, recompress
-        each until no more gains are seen (and a sensible number-of-tries limit
-        isn't exceeded), and flag that file as fully-optimised. Repeat for each
-        file in the list, until all are done. Saves pointlessly trying to
-        optimise files. Consider the case of a directory of 100 files, already
-        optimised once. Recompressing maximally compresses 90. Recompressing
-        again would currently try to recompress all 100, when only 10 would be
-        worthy of trying to compress further.
