It's possible that you might not have a given piece of equipment (eg lens or body) any more, so add a flag to the equipment tables to have them ignore certian rows.

(This is precipitated by one of my lenses being broken in two; I plan to buy an identical replacement, but it'll have a different serial number...)

We need to enforce that rule to prevent the DB from going nuts.

Either via SQL:

1) Trigger to test that parent != id
2) the (folders|albums)_and_sub(folders|albums) function needs to abort if it sees it

or in PHP:

3) Test the values in the php pages [[ (album|folder).(add|edit).2.php ]] and kick back an error.

I don't think there's another way to mangle things.

This can result in a DoS.

In tab My Folders or My Datebook, logged in user name displayed instead of owner user name under 'I am a client of the following users', nevertheless the link is correct. Here is my quick and dirty solution.

Only location in advanced text is not work, others works fine.

I can't find the meaning of ||| by google. But I change ||| to || in file search.text.advanced.php at line 172

$sql_search_string['location'] = build_sql_search_string($keywords['location'], "(view_location.place||view_location.city||view_location.state||view_location.country)");

and change view_location all columns NULL value (if any) to '' by sql command, then it seems work.

Here is the sql command to change view_location

create view view_location as
select location.identifier, location.place, location.city,
COALESCE ( (select value from state where state.identifier=location.state), '' ) as state,
(select value from country where country.identifier=location.country) as country,
users, last_modified_date,
latitude, longitude, private
from location;

It doesn't do any harm, it just bugs if it happens.

If you fill in user name and password and then realize, you don't want the preset language... Switching to another language clears out user name and password and you have to write them again.

Of course, this won't happen often to a new user because it trains to look first after the language, but... I would still call it a bug, even if not really major.

Currently the RAW settings are shared across all images. It would be nice if each image would contain with it the settings used to process the image. The problem is that the decoder often has defaults which change over time, and re-generating the same image can result in differences.

Right now there are three permissions -- public, private, and "protected", which equates to "public only to all of my clients"

This is pretty lousy; I can certianly envision scenarios where you'd want a client to only see stuff that's specific to that client. To do this now, you have to create separate accounts and mark clients for those specific accounts.

I'd like to see a more generic hierarchical user/group model. Only the photo owner can make changes to their images, but the permission model would break down as follows:

Permissions would be granted on a per-group basis, and individual users can be members of various groups. "Guest" access would just be another group, and would default to assigned.

A permission is inherited; so if "guest" is granted access to the top-level folder, they would be allowed to see everything below it unless a more restrictive permission was specified. This is sort of similar to unix permissions with the "sticky bit" turned on.

This gets a little tricky when talking about folders vs albums, as a user may not be allowed to browse the folder, but the image could be included in a public album. When viewing the image from the folder perspective, it would be disallowed, but from the album perspective, it would be allowed.

EDIT: see http://po.shaftnet.org/new_permission_model

Most database results are being indexed by position in a fixed array, rather than by column name. This may be slightly faster, but is hell to program around, especially when there can be twenty fields being returned.

* Convert all fetch_row() calls to fetch_assoc()

Secondly, using prepared statements would make the code a lot cleaner and eliminate the need to escape strings being passed in to the database. Unfortunately, this may require PHP 5.1 to pull off, depending on the maturity of the postgres bindings for earlier versions.

* Use prepared statements and SQL variables instead of inlined data.

RE-do the advanced search so it's more useful -- allow any field to be searched, not just title, caption, etc etc... then build the query on the fly. This is going to be complicated, but necessary...

What we have now is a decent start, but it needs a backand (and instructions for making it all click together)

The eventual goal is to let us "search for images like this one" and have it JustWork(tm).

Right now GNU GIFT (http://www.gnu.org/software/gift/) looks like the best bet as a backend; I just need to figure out how to make it all work.

Note that we really need search result caching to make this usable with a large image database.

instead of <location id="23" />, we should say something like: <location id="23" name="downtown Nowhere, USA" />

for all non-textual datatypes.

Otherwise, we need to export the database tables for these values to mean anything, and this isn't currently possible.

I capture the majority of photos on film, process it myself, print or scan it myself. A lot of people my do the same. I would like to see an option to note down the way I developed the film. IMO it would be best done in the following fashion:

have a table with development instructions (could have fields like: "id"?, "name", "developer", "dillution", "time", "agitation", "temperature", "notes"). The editing would be done in a similar way as for locations. This info would than be linked (through the id field?) as a technical informaion for the photo.

If there was the possibility to enter these information, I would not have to have a separate database/excel sheets noting this down.

It would be nice to know at a glance whether or not we have a model release for a given person in a given photo.

releases are usually obtained in relation to specific events, so this should tie into the datebook.

it would be nice if we could show the disk usage for a given album/folder, including all of its subfolders.

Now that we have the files and their sizes stored in the database, this should be easy enough.

for example, folder #602 contains 363 images, taking up 2133MB of disk space.

It's supposedly been part of the "core contrib" postgresql stuff since v7.4

This would let us perform a search on specific keywords across *all* indexed fields simultaneously.

Right now, it's:

thumb = raw -> scale -> colorspace (+extras) -> sharpen
prev = raw-> scale -> colorspace (+extras) -> sharpen -> watermark

IT would be REALLY nice if we could create customized processing paths; that is to say:

type_1 = raw -> scale -> b&w -> normalize -> sharpen
type_2 = raw -> scale -> add_border, add_text -> sharpen

This could either be on-demand, or automatic on uploads.

It would need a CAPTCHA or the like, to prevent spam..

This way people can easily contact a PO user, without having to publish real contact information.

This one probably relates to other search-related Feature Requests. But to be specific.

When I'm displaying my Profile pages, I can see for example how many photos were shot with a specific lens, how many were shot with a certain camera, how many were shot on a particular film. But there is no quick way to display the photos matching the one criterion - it does not need to be a complex search, it should display photos only according to the one condition. It could be accessed by a simple link next to the count of photos (or clicking the count number itself?)

Thanks a lot

My wife asked for this, actually.

Basically, it would be handy to assign an album to be a "child" of a given folder, instead of having a totally separate hierarchy.

I don't think the converse would be as useful.

A running statistic of most used focal lengths (can be expanded to any EXIF/IPTC property like most used lens, flash usage and so on).

Something like this: http://billigites.blogspot.com/2005/06/focal-length-statistics.html

Invaluable to decide which lens to buy next. :-)

I think it would be a cool feature to make PO spatial enabled. I mean that it would be possible to use gps data (geolocated images) to search for "photo taken near some point" or "all the photo taken near some street". Or simply to create an interface a la panoramio for look/find for pictures. It should be not to difficult to implement.

If we have a GPS tag, the odds are its timestamp is going to be more accurate than what the camera thinks.

Unfortunately, the GPS timestamp is reported in UTC. All dates in PO are stored sans timezone, but the odds are that you're not in GMT. So we'd need to add some sort of local time zone setting and convert the date/times as appropriate.

if all pages are explicit redirects, we can use POSTs everywhere and still have navigability.

In effect, this would merge datebook entries with the folder/album hierarchies.

I don't know if this is ultimately a good idea or not, but I've noticed that a majority of folders are keyed off specific date(s).

It has ramifications for the permission system (do we tie folders to clients, or rely on datebook events?)

It would also allow us to sort folders based on "event date" rather than "date added/changed" which is frankly far more useful for my purposes.

PO has hooks for an external authentication mechanism. Once the user is authenticated it creates whatever's needed for local use.

OpenID seems to be a natural offshoot of this; not too useful for a single-user system but it would be quite handy for a site wanting to piggyback onto another user.
