dbgallery is a database
application used to store
data about images. this idea is certainly old and simple, and may seem rather boring, but this
system extents that idea to new and interesting levels. its addictive actually. searching for
photos by
camera (no
data entry required, cameras store this), city, persons name, and other keywords makes browsing much more interesting.
photos can be assigned subjects, titles, descriptions, loads of keywords, etc. its a whole new way to filter and find photos. with it, one finds themselves combing through, making use of, and enjoying their
photo collection more than ever. there are many other features that come along with dbgallery. the keyed
data can then be made re-use of. it’s included in the generated website.
data comes along with
images as they are dragged and dropped around folders within dbgallery. (a release shortly after 1.0 will have the
data included in emails as well). the offline support feature is interesting, as you can have full-size
images stored on cds, dvds, and other offline places but still search that
image collection. see more below on these and other interesting aspects of this new system.
features:
* key once, use over and over.
*
data searching.
* emailgallery.
* edit mulitple images.
