This software enables efficient management of images and associated files, with features for organizing, describing, tagging, rotating and editing images quickly.
Fotoalbum is a software that allows you to organize, describe, tag, rotate, and edit pictures and related files in a quick and efficient manner. The project contains advanced features that enable users to search and find pictures with ease. However, the application has some rough edges and many features are yet to be implemented, which may be a turn-off for some users.
To fully benefit from using this application, users need to have a basic understanding of concepts like files, directories, and symbolic links. This may be a challenge for some users, especially those who have little computer experience. To address this, the application provides a step-by-step example that explains the basic concepts and shows how to use the software.
One of the unique features of fotoalbum is the ability to use hyperlinks to link pictures and files. Users can include links in the descriptive text of a group or picture, which point to other groups or pictures. By clicking on the link, users can view the referenced element. Users can also link other files, such as big text or HTML files that describe an event.
Another powerful feature of fotoalbum is its ability to use symbolic links. This feature can be demonstrated using an example called "Best of." Users can create a group with all their pictures from a holiday, but then create another group that is a link to the original group. The new group does not contain any pictures, but it shares the comment and keywords with the original group. Users can then create links to the original pictures they want to show their friends, and any edits made to the comment or keywords on either the link or original picture will take effect on both.
In addition, fotoalbum's advanced search features enable users to search for words in a group or picture's comment and keywords. Users will be shown a hierarchy like the original one, but with only those elements that match the search criteria. Users can also get a view of their pictures sorted by date and time, regardless of how they are organized on disk or in the album. Every search creates a new view, on which users can perform another search. Overall, fotoalbum is a powerful tool for organizing and managing pictures and files, despite some of its rough edges.
