HTC Photos vs Nexus1 Gallery

Im wondering if there is a pics app that will cover all my needs on my Desire. Currently running both the Nexus1 Gallery and the default HTC Photos. Both have good and bad points.

HTC Photos
Good:
-Only shows my pics, not the album art and ebook art stored elsewhere on the sd
-Has a simple Facebook pics option
-Uploads direct to Picasa/FB,etc
Bad:
-No Picasa albums viewable (most of my pics are on Picasa)
-Cant multi tag pics (needed for doing bulk uploads/shares)

Nexus1 Gallery
Good:
-Beautiful interface!
-Shows Picasa galleries automatically
-Has multi-tag
-Uploads direct to Picasa/FB,etc
Bad:
-Shows EVERYTHING on my sd card, and has no option to remove pics/directories
-No basic editing options (crop,rotate,etc as the HTC app has)
-No Facebook albums display

Does anyone have suggestions for an app that will give me my cake and opportunity to eat it?
 
-Shows EVERYTHING on my sd card, and has no option to remove pics/directories

You can do something about that. Create a file, name it .nomedia and drop it into the folder with media that you don't want to show up on the gallery. Cumbersome, but doable.

-No basic editing options (crop,rotate,etc as the HTC app has)

Eh... huh? The N1 3D gallery does let you crop and rotate.
