Softriva .com	Wednesday 20 December 2006 10:31:46 pm Dears, My clients has 5000+ images. She would like to put them all in her new site. These images are in one huge directory. Each image has a description. She is the only one who knows what is the description of each image. She not a computer expert. I need to find her a photo album that is easy for her to categorize the images and put a description on them. I tried the free Google album, called Picasa but not sure if it will easy later to export these images to eZ publish. I am not sure if I should go this route. Can you guys/gals help me in finding the best Album Program that is easy to use and good later to export these images with their description to eZ publish. OOzy
Kristof Coomans	Thursday 21 December 2006 12:26:34 am Hi OOzy The program needs to support at least one of the commonly used standards for putting metadata in your pictures (I can think of XMP, EXIF, IPTC ). I have used http://www.pixvue.com/ in the past and I liked it, it is integrated as a shell menu in Windows Explorer. There are a lot of other alternatives, you can find them on Google. independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
Softriva .com	Thursday 21 December 2006 2:21:54 am Hello Kristof, Beautiful, I tried pixvu. I like it. After, I changed all images metadata, how can I dump all these images into eZ publish and have eZ read the metadata and use the title of the images as a title for users to see. I hope that I did not confuse you! OOzy
Kristof Coomans	Thursday 21 December 2006 3:02:58 am Hi Oozy There are several possibilities. You can write a CLI script, to import the images as objects and map the metadata to object attributes. There are many PHP libraries to extract image metadata (in case the PHP exif and iptc functions are not enough). A script like this would be a nice contribution for the community ;-) You can also use the image analyzer system of eZ publish to retrieve the metadata when viewing an image. I never used this myself before, but here are some pointers: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/datatypes/image http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/objects/ezimagealiashandler http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/configuration_files/image_ini (unfortunately not documented yet, look for AnalyzerSettings the default image.ini) I'll probably have to do something similar in the future so I'm interested to hear about your progress. independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
