- summary: Synch client for new photo maintenance workflow, XMP --> [G2] Synch client for new photo maintenance workflow, XMP
It is very frustrating having to maintain 2 sets of photographs - i.e. one set of photographs on my local PC and a second set of photographs on my web server.
An ideal solution would be for a new Gallery client that would allow the user to manage which of the local photos to display online, and how these should be displayed, and then the client will automatically keep the two in sync.
The meta-data (i.e. tile, description, tags/keywords etc.) should be stored in the photo itself using XMP, rather than having to maintain a separate database for meta-data. If not possible to solely contain meta data within the photographs, then it is most important that the metadata should automatically be synched with that embedded within the photograph. I.e. a change of a photograph's description in the online gallery, would cause the description inside the local version of the photograph to be automatically updated as well, and vice-versa.
