Fae, would you be able to share the script once it has been written? Would it be a matter of plugging in a category at one and and picking up a zip file at the other? I ask because though there is a planned Python workshop, my availability at weekends is limited so I'm not sure I'd be able to attend and such a script would be quite handy.

I'm happy to sort this out with a small Python script if you email me:
1. A list of categories (or the parent the others sit under)
2. Explain what you want as metadata (a text file of the image page
edit history perhaps?)

Cheers,
Fae
