The file list in itself isn't a bad idea. Many RIPs have a 
structure like that. A RIP Queue and a Print Queue. Add a growing 
number to the name when an image is transferred to the 
"Processed" map. The user can clean the "Processed" map regularly 
and keep the ones he would like to print without using the Qimage 
route again. Of course you better strip the number then for a new 
print. If he also checks the Qimage logfile then it should be 
easier to see what settings were used. A number at the start of 
the name will sort the printed files even better.

Vuescan has a similar number addition to names  0001+.  Quite 
easy when lots of negatives have to be scanned.
