Restrictions (aka. stuff to improve):

• files must to have same extension
• don't support joined images.
• prefered same images size.
• assume filename format is a number like these examples: 1.jpg or 01.jpg or 001.jpg
  • the priority try to find 1.jpg then 01.jpg and at the end 001.jpg if is not found return default images if is specified.
• assume image are portrait.
• collate for letter size papers.
• don't print directly (maybe with a config file to setup the printer values)
• max number of images 999

some possibilities in future:

• config file
• choose image size
  • maybe review images sizes and suggest choose one if are different sizes.
• choose extension
  • for example if are only one extension use that one, if has more ask for validation, or priority.
• choose margin
• maybe indicate the format of filenames
• don't require the default image and draw an white page.
• don't require path and use current directory.
