Package: zoph
Version: 0.6-2.1etch1
Severity: normal
Just to let you know I started getting annoyed at some of the
limitations in zophImport. At quick glance the latest version looks the
same. Just some of the limitations I encountered:
* I got totally confused by the interface
* no way to automatically rotate images when importing
* no way to test import and see what would happen
* no tests to ensure new images don't overwrite existing files or
images referred to elsewhere
* if multiple matches found, it assumes the first one is appropriate
* when performing an update it can check the filename without the
path and result in updating the wrong database entry.
* etc
Previously I ended up overwritting old images without realizing it
(different path same file name) or having multiple database entries to
the one filename.
I have rewritten large parts of the program, so that:
* verbose is more verbose
* dry run mode for testing to see what would happen
* checks the destination file doesn't exist
* checks the destination file isn't referred to by another photo in
the database
* will move image and thumbnails between zoph directories.
* csv import mode
* supports rotating image via exiftran.
* probably others I can't remember right now.
I am reluctant to attach the file here because changes are still
happening, and anything I attach here could get out of date very
rapidly. Rather the aim of this bug report is to get feedback if anybody
is interested in the work I have done.
Note: I haven't looked at ZophExport because I don't use it any more.
Instead I wrote a perl fcgi script that will allow anonymous users
efficient access to photos in the database, by direct access to the
stored jpg files.
