upload new images(back to index)
hi!

i'm still using the first beta of fb3 which works fine for me. but there is one thing that i think isn't very user-friendly.
instead of showing the "upload new image" function on the post site, i would prefer to have a separate site "upload", on which you only can upload new pictures.

something like this: folderblogsite.com/fb.php/upload
this site should show only the thumbnails of the images but no big image and some fields to upload a new image.
option: you set a max-size in vars.php and every uploaded picture gets resized to fit in this max-size.
option2: upload .png, .gif, .jpg -> every format is converted to the format you specified in vars.php

what do you think?

and again: concerning a donation, which amount is appropriate? how much did the others donate?

A stand-alone upload-field may be an idea, but do you really upload png-images to an photoblog? the gif-format isn't supported by the gd-library (afaik or at least it is not compiled in all php-systems). so you need packages like image-magick or so. that may be to many requirements for the most users and jpeg is by far the most common image format.

ok, i don't need another format than .jpg. and i can resize my pictures in photoshop.
but it would be great if you could delete pictures directly in folderblog. i created a website with folderblog for someone who doesn't have ftp access. now he can upload pictures but can't delete them. this would be very useful.
and it would be great if you could specify the category before you upload a picture. now (in my fb3 beta1 version) you have to upload it and have to change the category after the upload.

You can delete photos by unchecking every directory to which they belong (including the main directory).

The posting interface is admittedly a little counter-intuitive. I'm thinking of changing it (making a standalone posting form of some sort) for future versions. Not positive which way that's going to go yet.
