Great updates, Juan. Thank you. I have a suggestion of a  small
additional requirement, see below.

Instead of "Search all subdirectories of the image directory"

do

"Search all subdirectories and siblings directories of the image directory"

End of last year and early this year we had the discussion how to
arrange the directory structure and what we agreed at was to have an
image directory and then the other packages residing in siblings
directories. I found that to be quite handy for github reasons.

At least for github is easier to manage if I have the image directory
and the repositories for the packages all on the same hierarchical
level rather than having the packages repositories residing in
subdirectories of the image directory.

If we go for
"Search all subdirectories and siblings directories of the image directory"
both options are possible, the one we  had earlier this year and the
one Bernhard prefers.
