Maybe it should be made not directly in XBMC. I could use Picasa to handle album, tags, etc etc etc and then just import these information in XBMC.
Just like MIP or MC or EMM does for movies Picasa would do for pictures.

I Agree a Picture Database is now needed and would be a great feature to have :-)
I currently have about 33,000 Pictures and the newer ones are all about 5MB+ in size as I've moved up to a DSLR and XBMC does take a long time to read in all the information and load the directories that have 1500+ pictures in them.
Also scrolling and viewing the thumbs is slow where as if I use ACDSee (Image viewer) it's fast and seems to work well with it's internal Database.
It would be great to be able to catalog/'scan' all your pictures into the XBMC database even if it's just purely for thumbs creation for now as this alone will save allot of time when you want to view the pics they will be there for viewing whilst at the moment a folder with 1500+ pictures is about 8.2GB in size that XBMC has to read in and catalog only when you enter that folder and cannot to much else until it's finished else it does not keep scanning/creating thumbs.
Just a though that I believe might be nice to have a scan for changes on the pictures folder, I'm also not sure why when viewing large folders or pictures why scrolling and navigating through the picutres is so slow... I am using an older PC (Pentium 4 2.8Ghz with HT) so that could be why but other tasks on the PC seem to run fine... Perhaps XBCM is loading very high quality thumbs even though it's not needed and this could required a very large amount of RAM/CPU power? I'm not sure... any one know the answer and is there a solution to speeding the thumbs viewing up?
Thanks very much
Jonathan :-)

Maybe is not in the core focus of the topic but I would love to have a library for pictures like Picasa-Photoshop Elements etc...
so that I can filter pictures by the tags I've given them.
