 Embellish does.

 Save a Jpeg in Embellish and you'll see what I mean 
  - in Gimp by moving windows around and using your photographic memory you 
sort of get the same tool as Embellish offers.

 Using two more programs and writing scripts each time.
 Embellish provides it complete with interactive options on matrix & 
thumbnail sizea, fonts, etc. And it's one of the extra file optons avilable.

 If you're interested in graphics, I think you should have a look at 
Embellish, run it on either an OS/2 or a MS-Windows platform.
 It is quite a worthwhile little app, I just wish Wine could run it 
properly.
