Photo manager update

2005-01-03 20:23:37.046627+01 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Just so you know I haven't forgotten it, and because I need to convince myself I'm making progress: The photo manager is moving forward. Slowly.

Over the break I tore it apart, and have reconstructed it so that I have something that's remarkably similar to my original view: Three panes, the left has "albums" that include a view of the filesystem, categories for the various links, and whatever user defined categories you wish. The middle has a list of image names, the right has image details. Images can be multiply selected, and comments and other meta information can span multiple images. The right two are in a notebook pane, and I'll be moving in my map browser into another pane in that notebook shortly.

I've got a configuration wizard in, and I'm working on XML in and out so that I can share data in between machines.

I'm at the stage where I could really use two collaborators:

  1. Someone who codes. I'm not quite ready to hand it off to my first stage of users as there's a bunch of hacking necessary to get it installed and running and I'm trying to make a list of what's necessary to actually use it; someone else getting it running and writing that code would rock.
  2. Someone who can do icons and other simple art.

But I'm starting to use it for finding stuff, which I think is a great start.

If you find someone that can do 'icons and simple art' well.. Keep them around.
