 MythGallery uses a random picture from each sub-folder to create an icon
 for that folder.

 Sadly, if it can't read that picture for some reason, it creates a blank
 icon.

 This means when browsing a folder full of sub-folders you get a screen
 full of identical blank icons with no way of determining which icon is
 which folder unless you individually select them to show the folder name
 in the title bar at the top of the screen.

 This effectively makes browing a folder structure almost impossible.

 Proposed improvements:
 1: It should both (perhaps optionally) always put the folder name under
 each folder.
 2: It should, rather than choose a random single image, select the first
 four READABLE images recursively and create a collage from them, that way
 identifying a folder.  If there are less than four readable images, then
 it should show empty cells in a 2x2 block.
