Hi Simon, your tool is great, I've used it on a dozen of pictures missing geo information. I will surely talk about it during my workshop on OpenStreetMap during this year wikimania.
one feature request: can you please add a way to limit the amount of pictures to be loaded in the list? I did try to use a very large commons category and my browser died. something like a pagination or similar mechanism? Thanks, Simone.
