I’m looking into a way of making a small program that would look for images within a folder and its subfolders and create an xml file with the name of the file as the picture name, its path, the name of the folder as a category for the pictures and the thumbnail path.  
So basically using the same type of format from the kirupa photogallery w/thumbanails:
