[Commons-l] New "my gallery" tool

Hi all,

instead of fixing all the bugs people have submitted about my existing
tools, I wrote a new one (so people can submit Even More Bug
Reports;-)

http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/mygallery.php

This one is probably more fun than useful. It takes your (any) user
name and shows, for a project, all the users images. On one page. In a
special category tree, that contains only categories relevant for this
purpose. Nice to see where ones files are clustered in the tree, IMHO.

If you have a hundred images floating around on a project, fine. If
it's a thousand, it will, work, but it almost killed my Firefox for
the ~1600 file I have on commons. Be warned...
(luckily, that's not really stress on the toolserver - it's more your
browser that will die under the tree structure flood)

As this display needs a "base category", which I have to enter
manually, this currently only works for commons, de and en wikipedia.

Cheers,
Magnus
