Wow, I had over 600 downloads of photos 4.0rc1 yesterday (and another 100 already this morning)! I haven’t gotten any feedback on it yet, so people either:
- haven’t had any problems and are all happy up and running
- haven’t installed it
- or are having problems but aren’t telling me.
if you installed photos 4.0rc1, feel free to post a comment here and tell me how it went (working, not working, install was too hard, etc.). Bug reports should still be posted to the photos Yahoo! Group.
Hi there,
Nice job on this product man. I just made you Feedster’s “Interesting Blog of the Day”. Keep up the good work.

Very cool, thanks Scott!
I installed it fine. I am really getting the hang of this PHP SQL stuff. Everything works well. It does seem to take a little time to run through a folder of images but I love all the search facilities etc. I typically use Protfolio and am not ready tochange just yet but nice job Alex! Thanks for experimenting away.
Loving the software.. started importing my library.. but think it would be helpful if you had ways to group photos.
I think it would be nice to have portfolio view display each group of photos.. so you can browse through them as well as having the option to search through them from the search window… Thoughts?
Les – The speed of import is the speed of creating a thumbnail of each image. Right now it is using the gd library (because support for it is built in to PHP). I am planning to support other image systems in the future which may increase the speed.
J. S. – That (Albums) is on the to-do list for the next major version.
