Why not just compare the files directly? The *nix "diff" command would 
make this easy -- I'm not sure what Windows offers. You could also just 
read() the data from two files and see if data1 == data2.

I don't know it that quite exists, but I'd check out Cornice:

http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/extra/cornice.html

and Andrea's thumbnailcontrol:

http://xoomer.alice.it/infinity77/eng/freeware.html#thumbnailctrl

which will be a good help.

Cornice is very nice -- I'd been hoping to find the time to add a 
feature to it that would allow setting tags -- but haven't had the chance.

good luck,

-Chris
