Posts: 527 04/07/2002 10:17 PM	the Image Host software has reached a level where it is necessary to ask some questions about it's future features. now you can give a comment, Genus Name and category name to each uploaded picture. current categories: keeping misc fun is it necessary to have more features or will it only complicate things? are the current features good enough? kuene More Images on this Board. krungkuene.org/ameisen_page/intro.html

Posts: 18808 04/07/2002 10:21 PM Borg Ant, Your Overlord	I don't know, Kuene. I thought we needed a simple image host just to host pictures to share? But I will let the voters decide on this. While we're waiting for the votes, I will make this poll sticky! Please feel free to vote, debate, etc. No pushing, shoving, and biting please. /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Ant (AntDude -- Your Host) from The Ant Farm's Message Board.\| \|. .\| \| \ _ / The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.home.dhs.org ( )

Posts: 527 04/07/2002 10:34 PM	antdude: I thought some features are good to find the images later on. if you need a picture of an ant to illustrate something in a posting you you will be able to find the right picture. but at the current level it is necessary to find out if it is enough. that's why i started this poll. i too want to keep it simple but on different levels: simple to use, simple to browse. because i think it is a shame if you have so many very nice pictures of ants online and you are not able to browse and enjoy them and use them in postings. so i ask if the current level of the image host is enough or not. i don't mind programming if people will use the features. but if no one will use it it would be work for nothing. kuene More Images on this Board. krungkuene.org/ameisen_page/intro.html

Posts: 18808 04/07/2002 11:06 PM Borg Ant, Your Overlord	Kuene: I don't mind the fancy features. Maybe we need two GUI front-ends. One is for simple image host. And other for advanced features. Just some ideas... /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Ant (AntDude -- Your Host) from The Ant Farm's Message Board.\| \|. .\| \| \ _ / The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.home.dhs.org ( )

I think the site is set up quite well at the moment, I see no real need to be able to browse by species as long as the ability to browse by genus is in place, I think it very unlikely that we will have so many pics of any one genus that the ability to browse by species will be needed. However the browse by category could be worked on some.. Also did you get my email about the "identification" line being on several of my pics, it identifies the pics as Camponotus even when it is actually a big lizard L " The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not 'Eureka!'

Posts: 527 04/08/2002 10:50 AM	Mrmacophyl: thanks i have noticed this bug myself and fixed it. it should not happen again in future. "the browse by category could be worked on some" what have you in mind? antdude:advanced feature GUI could be done. i wil consider that. kuene More Images on this Board. krungkuene.org/ameisen_page/intro.html

Posts: 777 04/08/2002 6:06 PM	Hi Kuene - I'm very pleased with the image host as it is now. That said, it is pretty easy to imagine the improved search categories helping quite a bit when the number of images is twenty or thirty times what it is at the present. If you do decide to add a category for species, please add an "unknown" or a "?" for those pictures in which the species is unknown or uncertain. I also wonder if perhaps it would be more appropriate to somehow tag the thread or message that references the image, rather than the image itself. The threads would almost certainly contain more information about the image than could easily be attached to the image, although not in as convenient a format. This would then allow us to, say, search for all Camponotus threads containing images.

Henchant Posts: 1983 04/08/2002 6:39 PM Doc.	I realize that at some point we will have so many pictures that we will need to add more categories. However, for now I think it serves its purpose very nicely. One small thing that might help is if we could search by both Genus and Photographer simultaneously. That way if I was looking for one of kazita's Formica pictures (for example), I wouldn't have to wade through all of mine and Tetramorium's and yours.
