nikos Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 This is a suggestion for a feature I'd like to see in the portfolio management of photo.net. I understand that there's a lot of stuff already planned for implementation, but maybe you'd like to keep a not of it for the future. I'd like to be able to mark a folder as an 'archive'. The folder would then appear in my portfolio folders, but separated an marked as an archive. It would NOT appear in the view of all photographer photos, or in the 'most frequently rated photos'. Essentially the folder and its photos would not be part of the photographer's exhibition in photo.net, but they would still reside on the server, at their URL, along with the comments, so that discussions, comments and links from other locations in the site are not broken. The rationaly is that many photographers, including me, prefer to keep the number of photos exhibited to a limit, reducing the clutter and presenting what they feel is their best work. This often leads to the dilemma of removing photos, despite the interesting discussions attached to them. It is also disparaging for other people to see their well-thought comments disappear, or to click through some old thread and find themselves at the dreaded 'problem with your input' page. On a side note, even when a photo is deleted, it would be nice to keep the page of comments under a placeholder. When someone points with a link to a discussion, instead of seeing a deleted page, I'd rather see a page with a blank placeholder in place of the photograph, the photographer's name and date of uplodad/removal, and the attached discussion. Often enough, there are references to discussions that are worth keeping, but they've vanished because the photographer was reshuffling his portfolio presentation.

peter_daalder Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Nikos,<br>This is actually possible already... I've been working on archiving the oldest folders for <a href="http://www.photo.net/shared/community-member?user_id=617763"> Picture This </a> and would be happy to send you some information on how to go about archiving parts of your portfolio...

nikos Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 Is it? How come I've never come across a way to do this? Are we talking about the same thing? The key issue here, is that I want to put photos not just in a different folder, but also not have this folder appear when someone clicks on 'all photos my Nikos Moraitakis'. Is that possible? If yes, can you please explain how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottershead Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Peter, I'm how you are doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_daalder Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Thanks Brian...<br> BTW, the recent <i>very generous</i> server space allocation for subscribers makes archiving for Picture This almost redundant, for the foreseeable future.<br>We were only trying to stay within range of the previous 200 images limit. Great appreciation for all your efforts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_daalder Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 In other words... Now is the time to become a photo.net subscriber!<br>$25 isn't all that much, if you can afford it, and have no problems with using PayPal. 100Mb is HUGE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee park Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Peter, will you share this with me as well? I frequently have photos on that I am not ready to share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_daalder Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Brian's short response above means that Picture This has the <i>extraordinary privilege</i> of being able to work on our own <a href="http://www.photo.net/users/pt/index/index.html"> click-through Gallery, </a> featuring our oldest uploads. So, I have no further information to share on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erin_____grasshopper__rice Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Fine; ignore me. Your half answers and obscurities will have to do, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_daalder Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I think it has something to do with smoke and mirrors, Erin. Yes, it appears PT only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erin_____grasshopper__rice Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Smoke and mirrors, eh? Well, that is a PN specialty...:P Thanks, Peter. I hate to be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
