Yup.  I haven't needed to, before the VX6000.  I will add that at some 
point.

More correctly, they get scaled and converted properly for a VX4400.
I will be adding the size and format support to the specific profiles.

Mine are all murky test shots where I couldn't tell the difference
between the main image and just the corner :-)

Is there an alternative way of finding out what to call from Python?

The current code invokes the defined application directly on the
file stored in the BitPim data directory.  That won't work if BitPim
moves to a database, and could cause other issues anyway.

Can you add a feature request for this and the wallpaper sizing
into the tracker on SourceForge so I don't forget about it.
