Ok, but then, we should adapt the image.qrc in order to include just those 
images. Change it, resend the patch and i will copy the files and commit it 
all.

You are right. I just thought that tonaAnalysis still had no segmentation, but 
Roman Goj added it at the end of his GSoC. It might have some bugs (frame 
location and closure bugs mostly) but we should be just carefull with that. I 
just did some fixes right now.

I would like to have Pools as data storage in order to share code with 
annotator anyway. Notice that current PoolDataSources are too coupled to 
Annotator data structures such as the Project. We could build one from 
scratch and them make them converge later.

Yes, the ChordExtractor dumps the pool it into a file, and the Annotator 
rebuilds the pool from that file, so once you have the pool you have it. It 
is the end point of the analysis and the starting point for the 
visualization. No need to store.

I'll be online until 18h (spain)
