I don't know if this is more of a bug or a feature request:
For every file that threw the exception no record of the file was made in the resulting nlnz_dd metadata file. On fail, at least some general file information (file name, size, etc) ought to still appear.

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
