Is there any way to insert a copyright C image on each image
using IDS, in the same way as you can on thumbnails?

Thanks & Best Regards

well, i really like ids, unfortunately i can't continue with the problems
it has..

it has horrible management of files, especially filenames, theres no
correction of invalid names or names that could be problematic and i'm
tired of having to kill runaway ids processes from uploads gone bad,
wether it be uploads that are cancelled on the user end and never die on
the ids end or if the user gave it a filename that ids cant hang with..

retirement of ids in progress, what a shame i really liked it, i cant seem
to find a similar replacement.

thanks for everything,
dave

David,

I have to agree.  I love IDS.  I wish that development would continue,
heck, I would even be willing to contribute to a bounty to help
development.  It is a simple, fast interface that I like quite a bit. 
So many things these days are clunky or crowed with features you do not
need, and ones you wish you had. 

If anyone is interested in continuing this project, please chime in.  It
is beyound my abilities, but as I said, I would be willing to put
something forward.

Hmmm, I've never tried uploading files straight to IDS.  The thing  
that most attracted me to IDS in the first place was the fact that I  
*didn't* have to do this, that I could just SCP the files into place,  
create directories, move them around etc. arbitrarily and IDS would  
do the right thing.  I looked briefly at Gallery a while back, and it  
really really didn't meet my needs.  It insisted on keeping images in  
some monolithic db where I couldn't get at them or manage them from  
the shell.

I have two issues with IDS:

1) Thumbnail generation doesn't work on TIFF files

2) Speed.  Even with some of the patches that came across this list,  
IDS is waaaaay slow.  My server is very lightly loaded and it should  
be able to be snappier at scaling images.  The Image:Info calls to  
read embedded JPEG/JFIF comments appear to have been written by a  
deranged wombat, and are thoroughly broken, as I've posted here in  
the past.  After spending hours trying to come up with a better  
solution, I gave up and replaced it with a call to rdjpgcom, which of  
course is less than speedy itself to fire up an external process.

Hey All,

Perhaps I should clarify a little, I was not specifically referring to
the upload ability, in fact the ability to just point it to a directory
and use rsync to mirror that folder from my home computer is one of my
personal favorite features. 

That being said tho, it has been some time since any development
progress has been made on this project.  Among the things I would like
to see would include the ability to interface with more online photo
printers.  Fixing the bug where certain special characters in comments
cause problems, and perhaps even getting some new themes.  All in all it
is quite good, but it could be excellent.

Just my two cents anyways.

Thats what attrected me to IDS in the first place. Just FTP/SCP dump the
files on the sever and just run with it. No error prone "spiechiel" easy
uploading of file (note no 's').

Gallery fail misabery at this years ago when IDS was active.

I've sense moved over to LinPHA http://linpha.sourceforge.net/

It has the same upload features plus clean UI and is in current
delvement to fix some early coding mistakes, one that of limited subfolders.

wow

that looks really promising! ive use ids for a few years now, especiall 
missing user managment /albums has nagged me...this looks sweet - thx 
for the info!

Easily fixed; I was running a version with this working until my hard  
drive crashed. I'm not sure whether I still have a version of it that  
has that feature.

I also made it work with mod_perl to speed it up (and provide access  
control per-album/image), but didn't get that working with mod_perl2  
for apache2.

In the end I decided that it was probably not worth trying to get it  
going again after the drive crash (I did rescue the code I'd been  
using, but may have accidentally deleted it subsequently!) -- the  
code is a bit of a mess in any case, and something written from  
scratch to run with mod_perl2 (or even mod_python) would be a better  
use of the effort.

Having said that, if I can find the code I was using before, you're  
welcome to it.

Cheers,

Nick

FWIW I think IDS is great. I've been running Gallery alongside it for some 
time but IDS generally always wins when I want to look at the pictures 
myself. I know it will be up to date. I have the patch so that it rotates 
the displayed pictures automatically. I imagine I'll be running it for 
some time to come.
