Web iPhoto Access - know bugs / To do

Bugs detected in version 2.2.

  • With iPhoto 4 libraries, pictures are considered as movies, so that full size pictures and slideshow mode can not be reached anymore

To do

Requests summary (even those I know I'll never do)

  • Allow users to choose to store preferences regarding size of thumbnails, size of slide show etc...
  • Allow administrators to set limits per library and per user on the size of thumbnails, size of slideshow and download size of images.
  • Try to detect server bandwidth issues, and scale back on image quality and/or resolution if too many users hit the server. Give a feedback to the user if this happens. Don't know how to do this
  • For slideshows, try to detect screen size, and try to make best use of available size.
  • Allow a "buy image" interface... I think this would lead to a major rewrite: it will break the WiPhA UI model, require some more rights and preferences management (which albums may be seen, which may be bought, which are forbidden), install a billing system or an interface to paypal. and it will not fit with the photocast system.
  • Themes support, theme manager (not likely to happen, themes are strongly bound to the templates, and templates are bound to the wipha logic)
  • Move towards a Gallery-like model
  • Admin: user groups. No. After thinking about it again, I consider that creating a user named 'family' and giving the password to the wole family does the trick... As long as I don't add some specific user preferences.
  • Manage pictures permissions with ACL to get rid of the changeperm executable.
  • Large iPhoto libraries proper management: use a database to store iPhoto data, instead of keeping them in a (sometimes huge) session. Please Apple, I need sqlite support in the standard Leopard php.

What about hosting the library to a remote server ?
Not everybody got a mac available 24/7 to serve a library :)

Anwser:
This is possible of course.
How do you think i made my online demo ? wink
But, this needs to be a mac server, since I use a command line mac utility to resize pictures (sips).
It would probably be possible to replace it by the php GD module, but I overall want WiPhA to run on a standard mac install, and the mac php doesn't embbed GD.

If it's not too much work, then support for PHP5 would be nice. [done in 2.0]

This is a feature request and not a question, so I'm putting it hear instead of the forum.

It would be nice to set the "default click action" for thumbnails, and have a "set for download" link at the bottom like there's a view link now.  We're using this as my wife's access to my photo library, and 99% of the time she just needs to grab a couple jpeg's, so she doesn't need a zipfile but instinct is to just click the thumbnail.  I got a frown first time I explained to her how it works smile  So I'd love to change from the default behavior to instead View, and have a small button for selecting to be zipped.

Anwser:
Maybe (but I don't believe in it now) in a future release. Let me explain the way I did it: When you want to select pictures to download, you have to click several times and focusing a small icon would make it long and difficult. That's why I set this action on the complete image.
But if you want to display an image (that means, switch to the slideshow mode), you just need to click one time in this icon, and you stay in the slideshow mode.
