Features for Imagevue V2:
1 - Capabilities to restrict the gallery view to the thumbnails only. The visitors only can see the thumbnails but cannot clic on it to see the big size without a password, (given with the user management).
2 - Capabilities to use the keywords on the Exif Metadata to generate folders, like Taxonomy on Flickr (or spotlight on Mac, even if these are only virtual folders, so, impossible to use with a server). For example, it could be very nice when you create a folder with a keywords, that every pictures with the same keywords automatically are listed in the folder. You could have a unique item of the picture on the server and it could be possible to display it on several folders with this way. Every folder that contains, "calls" the keyword. Other use of the same idea is when you add a picture, you only have to specific the keyword on Exif and the picture is automatically listed in all the corresponding folders. When you host the pictures and imagevue gallery on the same computer, you just have to specify the keywords and the galery is updated and stored. Very nice !
Keep in mind this feature gives its full power with boolean features ("And", "Or" and "Not"). Typically you can set keywords like this:
"Keyword 1 or keyword 2 and not keyword 3"
With this, you can realy manage folders and pictures like you want.
3 - Capabilities to hide the content folder address in the address bar of the browser, to avoid the possibility to see where are the folders pictures on the server.
Thank you and have a nice day.
Best regards.

Thanks for the tips!
1 - You can already disable thumbnails from being clickable, but there is no password feature yet.
2 - Good ideas, but I have to admit this is slightly out of spec for Imagevue. This gallery is based on physical folder structure, while other mass-user galleries like flickr run from databases and their own application servers.
3 - You can hide the URL path by setting useswfaddress = false in the config

Hello,
Thank you for the answer. Anyway, a few things:
1 - It seems we already can disable the "shiftclick" on the thumbnails, I mean setting it on "false". But the "click" can't be set on "false". There are others options but not "false"in this case.... so ?
3 - It seems it works, but under the condition you browse the flash version. As soon as you're visiting the html version, the content address of the pictures can be seen. It could be nice to let an option to disable the html version because I think this is impossible to hide in a html page.
Have a nice day.

1. Thank you for the information. To give you an argument for this feature. Imagine you wan to show to a visitor what your photos looks like, but not the full size photos. Then, if you want show to other visitors (with a password for example) the full size photos, then you can.
2. I apologize. I was looking for it and did not see it... Thanks
