#2 mass cataloging; delete/modify photo opt

[mark davis]

Nice app. If you're taking requests, how about a method
to catalog photos en masse (i.e. directories or nested
directorys of .jpg files). Then allow tagging, etc. on
sheets of thumbnails (or some other method) to allow
multi-selection of photos that would have similar
attributes. Later allow tailoring of each photo.

I'm thinking anything that aids in getting a large mass
of photos catalogued as painlessly as possible.

Also, it would be handy to be able to administratively
delete photos, galleries, etc.

Finally, I couldn't see any way to modify the keywords
or desc for photos. Am I missing something?
TIA

I'm not sure why I didn't get emailed when I got this, but I
just happened to notice this.

So, this is actually a few requests, some of which exist,
let me address these individually.

Regarding modifications. Image modification is available to
anyone who can see an image *if* the user is in the admin or
subadmin group *and* the user has requested administrative
privs during that session. You can request admin privs by
either going back to the cred form (the ``logged in as''
link at the bottom fo the page) or by selecting the ``Set
admin after auth'' check box at login time.

Regarding deletions, the way I handle this is to create a
``Deleted'' category and move images into it, then have a
cleanup process (in the config, I think it's there by
default) periodically purge that category.

Batch processing is not currently handled, and I'm not sure
how to do that from the web interface. If someone would
like to do that for me, I'd be glad to have it, otherwise,
I'd probably do it with python and tk or something via
XML-RPC. I don't have any plans for adding this as of yet,
because I don't really manage my stuff that way.
