janceallen Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 n00b question - how can you share collections with other users? Without actually exporting images? Can you publish hotlinks to collections or something like that that can be pasted into email or Confluence, that kind of thing? Thanks for any info! I've searched the online manuals and forums and just can't find this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janceallen Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Oh, it looks like collections just automatically show up for other users. Hmmm, is there a way to control that? Everyone isn't going to want everyone else's collections. Trying to grok this, thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 With current Daminion versions (4.6 and 5.0) all collections are visible for everyone, unless you set Access Permissions for files inside a collection. In the web-client of Daminion Server 5.0 version you can also share your collection or any other query in Daminion by copying web-browser's url. However this also will not hide other items in the catalog. We are going to improve Presentation Skills of Daminion in 5.5 version. Please see our roadmap: https://daminion.net/user-forum/index.php?/topic/765-daminion-roadmap You are welcome to share any specific suggestions regarding this feature. Thanks!

janceallen Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Ah, I see, thanks for the info! Although it looks like the collections still show up in other user's collection list, they're just greyed out and show 0 items. Seems like that will still be pretty messy with multiple users creating multiple collections. The web brower's url sharing sounds interesting... I'll check that out, too. Feature request-wise, I'd rather only have collections show up for other users if I choose to share them, or send them a link, etc. Thanks! - Jance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Jance, thanks for your feedback! Yep. If you'll share a collection then only items included into this collection will be visible (for public or login should be required). Or you can just create a common collection tag or any other tag and your colleagues will see it in their Daminion desktop or web clients.

janceallen Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Just to clarify, if I create 50 or 250 collections, they all show up for all other users, correct? Even if I limit with Access Permissions, then those collections will show up as empty for other users, but the collection names still show up for them, right? That's my biggest issue at the moment, is that I think it will be very busy and cluttered with everybody's collections showing up for everybody else, so I'd love a way to only let collections show up for other users if so intended. Thanks! - Jance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janceallen Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Also, cool! - sharing collections by emailing a URL is great! It would also be great if that url were available to copy from within the desktop app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improving Presentation and Sharing skills of Daminion is one next step (in 5.5 and 6.0 versions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
