Andy,

First off: Good job so far.

If you guys get this right then I'm a definite buyer. My image gallery is one of the few features on my site that's not driven by a script from GT and I'd love to switch it over. I'm currently using ImageFolio. For me the most important features are those that'll enable my users (not myself) to use the gallery.

Features like:

- Private and Public galleries
- Ability for user to create new directories
- Ability for user to move / reorganize directories and images
- Admin ability to give users posting privileges to galleries other than a user's "private" galleries
- Ability to upload a ZIP file, have it unzipped, thumbnails created and all images placed in a directory
- Sort thumbs by rating, date, hits or name

These kind of features are the ones that's important to me. I don't care much for bells-and whistles like drop-shadows, rotating images etc.

Also, it would be nice if the thumbnails were displayed in rows, and if users had the ability to select how many thumbs they wanted to view per page. I think listing thumbs top to bottom does not make for a good image browsing experience. See the [Thumbs/Page: 16 24 32] links at the top of my ImageFolio install here.


Some good import scripts from the most popular gallery apps (ImageFolio, PhotoPost etc) will be great as well.

Like I said, good stuff so far. I'll keep checking in.

Safe swoops
