Anyways, I am a new loyal zooomr member and Kris told me that you will be releasing jUploadr1.1 for the new Zooomr 2 coming out soon. I was wondering if you could put me on the list of testers for jUploadr as I am dying to see/use it and as a former CS major (now database specialist) I could probably help contribute some good feedback. Shoot me an email if you get a chance please! THANX and keep up the great work!!<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-strike: comment body - cialis, 1 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> Steve,

How I would implement it is this... From the dialog where you can enter details such as tags I would change the "Tags" field to "Add Tags". Above that I would show a list of all tags on all of the pictures (in a listbox is fine, to use a fixed amount of screen space). To the left of each tag would be a 3-state checkbox ("on"/"off"/"partly-on") - this sort of checkbox should be standard (not sure about Java but have used them elsewhere). Any tag that exists for EVERY picture have the check be "on". Any tag that is only for a subset of pictures would be "partly-on". The user could then change the state of a checkbox to "off" (remove this tag for all selected pictures), "on" make all the selected pictures have this tag, or "partly-on" (don't change this tag for the pictures that have it). If the user typed in one or more tags they would be added to all selected pictures. Hope this all makes sense. (1) A couple of other notes... it would be nice to be able to change the size of the thumbnail (via preferences). (2) It would be nice to be able to ask it to reorder the pictures according to the date of the image (it will upload them it that order, but, when I dropped in the images onto jUploadr the order was funny). (3) It would be nice if I could control the color bars over the images to just the selected image instead of having the color bars over every image all the time. (4) When I double click an image to view it, make that dialog resizable, so I see a slightly larger version, so I could better look at the image details. Anyway, great app. Keep up the good work.<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> The key it improving tagging is to make it non-destructive with respect to tags, unless I specifically WANT to remove a tag.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve this?

This seems problematic for putting a complex set of tags on images. Being able to tag like this is important to me. For example, on all my images in a set, I will tag a location, then I go in and select all of a single person and add that persons name. Then I go in and select all pics with another person and add that persons name. With this program I cannot seem to reliably do complex tagging. Thoughts or suggestions?

I am currently using it to transfer my whole photo collection (+2GB) to Flickr. After the files are transferred I will use a small (well...) Emacs hack of mine to add tags that I have already stored in a small text file. Finally I have my pictures backed up in a safe place (I hope...). Again, thanks! Thanks for developing jUploadr!
