I’ve released photos 4.0.1. This is a bug fix release: Search bug: Need Details = No returned an incorrect result. Search bug: Last modified range search was broken. Transaction support (unsave after hitting cancel while adding a folder) is fixed. Page title is correct while navigating between pages in the Portfolio. No matter how many…

I’ve released photos 4.0! Come and get it. There is a long list of changes from the previous full release (gallery 3.21). I’m glad to finally get this out the door. As you can see, lots of hard work went into this. I hope you like it. Please consider making a donation if you are…

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…

I’ve posted photos 4.0rc1. This is mainly a bunch of under the hood clean-up. I also fixed a bug where you couldn’t add images with quotes and/or apostrophe’s in the file name. Send in the bug reports if you find any. If all goes well, I’ll be releasing photos 4.0 on Monday.

I’ve released photos version 4.0 beta 3. I expect this will be the final 4.0 beta. This release adds a couple of nice features. The IPTC import functionality is the biggest change. I’ve added a note to the photos documentation detailing the way it works. The IPTC import is something that I added because it…

There was a post on ARS Technica asking if people have used photos over iPhoto. Here is my response: I’d say that photos does a different job than either iPhoto or Curator and each app has a place in my toolbox. photos is a database. Like all databases it is used to store and retrieve…

There is a bug in photos 4.0b2 (probably in b1 as well) that keeps the preview image from showing sometimes on the view screen. Don’t worry, it is just a small bug in the way I handled the expected file name for display. It does not affect the way the data is saved or anything…

I’ve released photos 4.0 beta 2. This suppresses the PHP warning messages that appeared from time to time and adds multi-keyword searching on the URL field. I’ve started with the IPTC data parsing/import, but I’m not ready to release that yet and I wanted to get these changes out.

I’ve updated the photos 4.0b1 zip file to fix the warning message some were seeing (from engine.php line 143). If this is bothering you, you can change your php.ini to show only errors or download 4.0b1 again or edit engine.php as described in the photos Yahoo! Group.

photos 4.0b1 is up for download. This beta adds the file browser I previously mentioned here and some other goodies. As with all beta releases, use at your own risk. I bumped the version number to 4.0 because there were too many big changes for this to be a point release. I still need to…

Stayed up kinda late last night (after getting home from work late) finishing the file browser for photos. I’m pretty pleased with it. I think it will make it much more clear how you add files/folders to the app. The file upload control was very misleading and people rightly expected to be able to upload…

I got an e-mail this weekend from suggesting that I build a file browser in PHP for use with photos that people can use to select images/folders to add if they are running on a remote machine. Not only would it benefit people running photos on a remote web server, but using it exclusively would…

I’ve released photos 3.5b3. This version has some great improvements. I’m excited about the changes, I think you’ll really like them. The way the ‘Load Folder’ feature works has been completely re-done (as previously mentioned here). Now instead of loading all of the photos in one shot with no indication to the user what is…
