I'm wanting to start a new programming project, and looking for ideas on what to do. I'd like to make a simple tool, related to making games, but don't have anything more specific than that.
99% of the tools I use are related to art assets and converting data to or from XML. How about a tool that reads a directory of images and generates xml based on the contents? That's sotra like something we use for real (except it reads a .fla instead) and feels like a tool that people would use for real.

What sort of data would be useful? I assume you are looking for something more than just a list of files
In a real life situation, I'd probably be interested in the images dimensions so I could just run this tool, generate the xml and then use the xml when I'm loading these images from a server to make sure I set the correct dimensions and the images aren't warped when I load them in. I'm not 100% sure if that's possible though.
