InvertedFileFeatureDescription.db is created by gift-add-colllection.pl, not by the extractor. yes, i did evil things to that, as well. but i've diffed my gift home, and the origional and mine are bitwise identical. > > >>3) Given that Image Magick is already a prerequisite for successful GIFT > >>installation, the current state of your code introduces a new dependency, > >>right?
