Re: [Ids-devel] death of ids

[Douglas M. <do...@ke...>]

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.
