haven't you tried to just look for it? It seems like it's developed on
github, and an issue with the problem you describe is already open there:
https://github.com/vivien/genimage/issues/2

I guess that would be the place this should go. Tell them it's a simple
and important issue to you, make a pull request and they will help you.
