Google Translate - Firefox addon bartab vs toomany tabs - 0 views

  •  
    My attempted translation. BarTab: There are two key points which I'll explain using some scenarios. 1. If the many tabs were left open from a previous firefox session, it would take a long time when you reopen firefox. 2. When using firefox, we sometimes end up opening a whole lot of pages. This in turn consumes a lot of memory, causing lag to occur in firefox. (Copied) BarTab can solve these problems 1. When restoring tabs from a previous session is set to put them on my bar tab 2. When I don't visit a tab for a while, set to put it on my bar tap after x hour / minute / second Time can be set TooManyTabs BarTab is more convenient since it's automated. I feel that TooManyTabs is more like an addon meant to manage pages/tabs. Although it also does function as a memory saving tool. This is done so manually; where one has to select a page to be placed into the TMT placeholder. They way it does this is through capturing pages and turning them into bookmarks; and thus releasing memory. To reload a tab, one has to select the 'column' in which the page that was placed in TMT resides, and then again clicking on that page to re-open it. This manual method of reopening pages, as compared to BarTab, is less convenient or intuitive. 'Situitation method'? Because of the way it is used, I think it is more suitable as a tool that operates more like ReaditLater. With the function: page history and cateogory management. This is the advantage of using TMT; something that BarTab cannot do. 'from this point of view, they can actually be counted as different tools??' So really, there's no real problem even if you choose to you both simultaneously. You can simply choose what you want based on your needs.

Photology - Photo Search Software - Alternative to tagging? - 0 views

  • Photology is an image management software which allows the user to sift through large number of photos or images without the need to set up tags or organize collections.
  • The program’s slogan says – No tags, No folders. It just knows
  • special content filters.
  • ...24 more annotations...
  • mimics our own behavior in the way we tend to remember a snapshot. Not by filenames but by the other vague details
  • seven filters
  • Time of day:
  • Date:
  • show in order (view with others taken around the same time),
  • Location: Was it an outdoor shot or an indoor one?
  • Content: Was it about people, plants, the ocean or the sky?
  • Text:
  • Color: Narrow down the choices by searching for a particular color using the color wheel.
  • Photology lets us select the folders to monitor for photos
  • Features: Was it black/white, under-exposed, over-exposed, in focus, out of focus or in monotones?
  • Hovering our mouse over the thumbnail gives us four more options to use for an image
  • rotate
  • add to group (select and add to a group for sorting)
  • delete.
  • can enter a caption
  • added options include:
  • Group – These are collections of similarly themed pictures we can create for ourselves. Put a single photo in as many groups as you want without making multiple copies.
  • Share – Easily share photos via an email link, Flickr, Picasa or SmugMug. We can also collect selected photos into a desktop folder for sharing through the ‘file’ share option.
  • logical filters like ‘Features’, ‘Color’, ‘Date’ and ‘Text’ returned fairly accurate results with a few errors.
  • abstract counterparts like ‘Location’ and ‘Content’ returned a wider variety of inaccurate results
  • Though, I wish they would add some multiple image handling capabilities especially related to naming and tagging so I can compensate for some of my previous laziness.
  • Photology does support the use of keywords
  • can find photos based on captions, group names and folder names by using the text search:

FotoTagger - Easily Tag / Annotate photos - 0 views

  • FotoTagger is a free utility that lets you tag photos with small descriptive notes on any part of an image
  • does not ‘spoil’ the image because the notes can be easily removed and also hidden with a click of a button.
  • photos also can be shared across the web along with the comments or annotations.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • with FotoTagger we can pinpoint any element on the photo and place a comment on it.
  • Photos (JPEGs) can be given a caption that’s like a label for the whole photo or a tag which can be pointed towards any element in the photo (also called a callout).
  • An image can be given only one caption but it can have multiple tags
  • Fonts and colors can be customized for tags and captions
  • They can be shown as rectangles or as balloons.
  • Tags and captions do not significantly add to the size of the image as they are stored within the image file in text format.
  • also can be revealed and hidden with a single click within FotoTagger (thus, displaying the image with and without tags).
    • LeisHowI
       
      Viewing enabled only if within a particular program?
  • also lets us publish annotated pictures to our blogs (Blogger and LiveJournal). If the image size is too large for blogs, an alert pops up requesting permission to resize the image.
  • Comment tab is for entering a more descriptive note on the particular image or the whole album.
  • Single images or a bunch with all its annotations can be exported (and imported back) to and from Flickr
  • While exporting, you can also perform a resize operation
  • technically inclined can use the image information tabs in the bottom panel to view specific data like EXIF, IPTC, image properties, histogram and of course the tags for the image
  • Exporting to HTML as whole folders or as individual files is also a two step process.
  • get are HTML pages that include the annotated image with tags which can be hidden with a click of a button. These are viewable in any browser and do not require FotoTagger for displaying the tags.
  • Creating animated slideshows and presentations
  • fourth way is to send annotated images by email. Send it with tags merged into the image automatically through FotoTagger which launches your default email application.
  • But cosmetics aside, FotoTagger does the basic job of captioning and tagging quite well.
  • plug-in which allows us to capture an image straight from either IE or Firefox into FotoTagger is not updated for the latest version of the Firefox browser.
  •  
    I don't know if it counts as 'real' tagging, and it doesn't say if other programs or services read that data. Interesting I suppose, if you like annotating things.

  • top:views results:40 – show the top 40 based on views.
  • is:favorite
  • ~word – look for words that are similar to “word”. Works only in Fast Search and needs word indexing to be enabled
  • remove tags from images, first select them in the browser and open the tag list.
  • Tagging
  • Ctrl + T while viewing the image or having some images selected in the browser view.
  • If you open the tag list while the add tag box is open, you can add tags from the list by left clicking on them.
  • Separate multiple tags with commas
  • Add tags from the list to images by dragging them on images: left drag adds tags to one image, right drag will apply them to a group of images
  • Or, select a few tags and double click on one of them. This will view all images with all the selected tags.
  • Double click on a tag to view all images with the tag
  • added:
  • Deselect (Ctrl + Left click) the tags you want to leave to the images and press delete.
  • You can make aliases to tags by adding both tags and dragging the tags on each other in the list. The draggee will become the alias for the tag you drag the tag on. Every time you add the alias, it will actually add the original tag.
    • LeisHowI
       
      I don't quite get what it means, will have to test out. I suppose it means you can create fake tags, where they are simply placeholders for actual tags. I'm assuming you can do it with multiple tags as well?
  • Let’s imagine you have a screenful of untagged and tagged images. First, press Alt + T to sort images by tags. With the mouse, click on the left edge of the screen to open the file list. You should see a group of files in the beginning of the list marked as having no tags. Right click on the list to select a whole group of images, and press Ctrl + C to copy the files on the clipboard. Press Ctrl + N to open a new view and paste the images with Ctrl + V. Now you have a nice, clean workspace with no unwanted files.

  • press Ctrl + Shift + O to automatically sort all files into smaller subgroups
  • Adding complete directories
  • Use the included program dbtool to add directories recursively with any tags you like.
  • "c:\Program Files\Viewer2\dbtool" add "c:\my photos\kittens" cats cute. This will add everything in the specified directory and add the tags cats and cute to each image.

  • Synchronizing IPTC keywords and Viewer2 tags is disabled by default, because it physically modifies image files
  • enable it in the configuration by ensuring the option “Synchronize tags and IPTC keywords” is checked. Viewer2 will then tag every new image with IPTC keywords and set the IPTC keywords to the tags the image has in Viewer2

  • ShowDirectories Show subdirectories in the browser.
  • UseSpiral If set to 0, order images in a square, otherwise order images in a spiral.
  • IPTC into the files but they don’t show up in Picasa. Other tools, such as Exifer or IrfanView can display them
  • IPTC export works at least on some programs
  • doesn’t write IPTC back to the images when we set tags – is that by design?
  • (“Synchronize IPTC tags” needs to be checked on the “Database” page). That feature definitely exists but it’s not enabled by default.
  • not entirely sure if enabling the syncing will automatically write the tags that you have added earlier but either adding (or removing) any tag will trigger the IPTC update for the file. Or, you can use dbtool to sync manually (something like “dbtool exportiptc c:\Photos”).
  • a small tool that recursively parse the whole image repository to automatically assign tags would be nice.
  • The new dbtool does this automatically. You can simply add a file in a directory and the tags in the file are applied to all the subdirectories. It can also tag files based on the tags it sees in the directory names, so if you have the tags “2009″ and “holiday” in the system and a directory named “holiday 2009″, dbtool will apply both tags to the images in the directory.
  • Would it be possible integrate this new dbtool inside the “MSWindows explorer”?
  • It is possible to add any program in the menu, as long as the program takes command line arguments.

  • The command line would be something like “c:\viewer2 directory\dbtool.exe” iptcadd “%1″.

    Really long but sounds like it has tonnes of functions. As reviewed in freewaregenius, I think shortcuts will come in handy though you would really have to get used to it.
