picture download feature ? #3

Dear Iustin !

Also came here via planet debian and really like your project. It would be a great way to make my large, but somewhat unorganized collection of images browseable. However, one of the main workflows with our picture collection is selecting images for download to make picture books. We currently do that via a samba share, but as you can imagine, displaying a few hundred pictures in a folder to then download a few of them is a pain.

Do you think it would be possible for you to implement a feature where you basically multi-select images in the browser and then download them in bulk ? If necessary as a uncompressed zip ?

That would be really cool ! Thanks, Karl

Hi Karl,

I didn't have this planned, but something quite similar: a way to "flag" images for later review/whatever. Basically, while browing/viewing images, have a way to mark them, and then later, in the application, being able to review the list of marked images.

Now what to do with this list of pictures would be up to the user; you could download for example simply a text file with the images (and then running zip with that input list would be simple, but need ssh access to the server), or review them in an image processing program, etc.

So this (selected image list) needs to be implemented first. After that, providing an actual download for those files would be simple.

Not giving any timeline, just saying that part of this was already on my mind.
