I’ve released Photos 4.1. This release adds basic internationalization support and fixes all reported bugs in verion 4.0.1. Here is the change list: Added localization support Reduced HTML footprint Changed the get limit from 500 to 300 Allow viewing the portfolio by list Added a check that may allow Photos to work with GD 1.6…

I decided to do one final release candidate of Photos 4.1 to make sure I’ve gotten everything fixed up. The PHP notices people were seeing should be fixed and there haven’t been other reports (yet) of more strings that need to be translated. I would recommend people use this version instead of 4.0.1 as it…

Please send in any bug reports for Photos 4.1rc3. I’ve got reports of a couple of PHP notices I’m fixing, but I don’t have any reports functionality or translation issues. If you’ve got them, let me know. I’m hoping to do a final release of 4.1 next week.

I’ve released Photos 4.1rc3. More people have started working on translations which has helped me catch additional strings that had slipped through the cracks. Changes in this release Translated a more strings that had slipped through (all the JavaScript strings in particular, oops!). Date picker changes months properly when a number of months other than…

I’ve released Photos 4.1rc2. Changes from rc1: Several strings that were missed in my initial internationalization pass. Big thanks to Peter Schagen who is working on a Dutch translation. IPTC import is working properly again. Thanks to Frank for catching this and posting it in the forums. The date picker wasn’t working because I’d forgotten…

I’ve released Photos 4.1rc1. This fixes a bug that kept the Next and Last buttons from working properly in lists. If I don’t get more bug reports, this will be the final 4.1 release.

I’ve released Photos 4.1b2. This has a few changes from beta 1, the biggest is fixing the order in which a few files were included so that configuration error messages are properly displayed.

I’ve finally released Photos 4.1b1! This has a number of small bug fixes, but the big change is internationalization. Of course, I’ve included the English localization, so you should be able to just translate that, set the language in the config file and Photos should run in the language you’ve created. Send me the language…

I think I’m about 75% done with the internationalization and English localization of Photos for a 4.1 release. The problem is I can’t resist refactoring a bunch of code along the way. It will be good to get this version out, especially with the bug fixes from version 4.0.

I’ve started the planned localization for Photos. WordPress ended up using a different localization scheme then the one I built but I’m finding it’s working well for my needs. I worked on this a little on the flight last night and found that I couldn’t resist ripping things out and making a number of improvements…

I spent some time discussing digital photo management with Adam Tow yesterday evening. Adam is re-organizing his vast digital photo collection and has looked at a number of different tools. What he wants is a nice fat client interface for captioning and browsing photos while on the Mac and a good web interface (probably using…

I’ve got some good ideas for speeding up the data entry in photos that I plan to put into the next version. I’ve been falling behind on my photo data entry so I might as well improve the process before spending the time to get the data in. I’m going to get the current tasks…

People have been asking me if there is a way to allow searching and viewing but not adding or editing in photos. In a future release, there will be some pretty decent user/permissions stuff but for now there are several ways to go. The easiest is probably to install photos in a separate directory, use…

I forgot to hide the hidden iframe after debugging the broken transaction support bug. The good news is, this is easy for you to fix in your own copy (or you can just download a new one, it’s fixed). Open up ‘load_folder.php’ and look at line #5 and #6. // $iframe = ‘<iframe src=”load.php… $iframe…
