[mythtv-users] MythGallery feature suggestions

[James Boike]

With the help of a bunch of people I finally have my box (almost) 
running smoothly, hopefully with little impact to the list. Thanks a ton 
to all.

I have some ideas for MythGallery and don't believe I've seen them 
discussed here. After using Adobe Photoshop Album (great app) I think 
MythGallery's functionality/usability could be improved. One of the 
great things about finally having digital photos in the living room are 
impromptu viewings and slideshows -- Adobe's cataloging system makes 
this extremely easy and organized. Pardon the explanation if this is 
obvious: each photo is like a song -- but instead of pre-defined genre, 
title, album tags for a song, the user assigns any number of tags to a 
photo from a user-defined pool of tags. A great photo of my brother, my 
friends and me skiing might get these tags: "Jamey," "Family," 
"Friends," "Vacation," "Favorite." You then create and view photo 
collections by choosing any combination of tags as a filter, i.e. I want 
to see all vacation photos with my family in them = "family" + "vacation."

I've already rambled in too much detail -- let me know if this makes 
sense, has already been suggested... I haven't coded anything since 
Pascal in 1992, but I'd be eager to help in any way possible.

take it easy,
Jamey
