Suggestions

Hi:

 

After some days of real use of Daminion, migrating all my catalog, I have a bunch of feature suggestions:

 

 

* I miss a built-in bulk file renamer. I can live without it, but it's faster to keep on the same environment

 

* I don't need the intermediate options for the ratings. More precission than 0,1,2,3,4,5 stars is not neccesary. Can we have this as an option?

 

* On lots of programs, ctrl+0 is used to fit-image, so from time to time I touch these keys and get my ratings away. Can you add a "read only" mode? Supposed changes are synced immediately, work is lost sometimes

 

* I have some problems viewing DNG images (always with full size preview). If image is cropped, thumbnail is well rendered, but image don't

 

* Not really important, but I'd like more a darker environment and a more compact thumb visualization

 

 

I really like Daminon philosophy and simplicity without unnecesary particularities, so keep the hard work. I feel it will be a standard in Dam environments someday

File Renaming based on naming templates is available in the "Import Files" window and will be added as a separate function soon. I've added 2 extra votes for this feature.

Many Daminion (and PicaJet) customers use ratings with fractional values.

But you can use just numeric 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 rating values (Ctrl + 0, ... Ctrl + 5).

Unfortunately, each program has different set of shortcuts, and the same keyword sets can be used for different actions in different programs. To be honest, I've discovered only 1 program among the 5 popular photo management programs where Ctrl + 0 is used to fit the image.

 

 

* I have some problems viewing DNG images (always with full size preview). If image is cropped, thumbnail is well rendered, but image don't

 

Could you please send me a sample DNG image to support at daminion.net?

The first Daminion version was with dark interface:

 

But thanks to guys from Microsoft who disallow to customize standard TreeView control in the .NET framework (our tags tree is based on this element), two ugly white scrollbars forced us to get back to the silver color scheme.

 

However It's possible to add the dark scheme in the future Daminion versions. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for the encouragement, and if you'd allow me to use your sentence in our home page... ;)

Good news!

Yes, I do so, but I'd prefer no to have them on the Tag Panel. But I can live without it

 

To be honest, I've discovered only 1 program among the 5 popular photo management programs where Ctrl + 0 is used to fit the image.

So, you don't work on DTP ;-D

I insist on the "read only mode". Think on it. With Sync on, you don't have Ctrl-Z...

 

Could you please send me a sample DNG image to support at daminion.net?

Try this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18299578/JA030640.DNG

With a heavy crop on, thumbnail is well rendered, but viewing the image doesn't, even it has full size embedded preview

 

However It's possible to add the dark scheme in the future Daminion versions.

OMG! I want it right now! XD

Much nicer interface

 

Thanks for the encouragement, and if you'd allow me to use your sentence in our home page... ;)

Of course

One year later, I review the suggestions I did:

 

>I miss a built-in bulk file renamer

 

Done

 

>I have some problems viewing DNG images

 

Solved

 

>I'd like more a darker environment and a more compact thumb visualization

 

Compact thumb, done. Darker screen, not your fault, as stated (I already hope getting it in the future)

 

>I don't need the intermediate options for the ratings

>More precission than 0,1,2,3,4,5 stars is not neccesary

>Can we have this as an option?

 

Not done, but not the most important feature. Can live without it (and it's not on your list)

 

>On lots of programs, ctrl+0 is used to fit-image,

>so from time to time I touch these keys and get

>my ratings away. Can you add a "read only" mode?

>Supposed changes are synced immediately, work is lost sometimes

 

I'm already suffering from this. Not really Daminion fault, but... Can, at least, have an undo option?

 

 

That's been a very busy year for you and a huge improvement on the software. Congrats to the team!

Thanks for the feedback! We understand the importance of the undo option after accidently tag changes, and it exists in our unsorted feature queue, but we didn't decide it's priority in our roadmap yet.
