New Snapshot with greatly improved annotation dialog06 Sep 2006
A new snapshot has just been released, which has one major improvement, namely that the annotation dialog now uses list boxes with check boxes for each item. This has two advantages (1) the intention is clearer to new comers (2) We don't need explicit "Merge" and "Remove" actions from multi image annotations.
New Snapshot with DND support for reordering sub categories27 Aug 2006
I hate people questioning the usability of KPhotoAlbum. But that is nothing compared to how much I hate when they are right :-)
This weekend I've been working on implementing sub category reordering using drag and drop in the annotation dialog. So if you want to tell KPhotoAlbum that Las Vegas is in USA, just grab it with your mouse, and drop it on USA.
As a side effect of this, the items in the list boxes have now changed to check boxes, and an item is marked as on an image when checked (in contrast to, when selected), I hope this will make KPhotoAlbum just a little bit more accessible for newcomers.

Second Snapshot Ready23 Aug 2006
Today I fixed two crashes in KPhotoAlbum, one which occurred when scrolling in the thumbnail viewer. The other occurred when clicking on the date bar with the middle or right mouse button.
In addition two smaller issues has been addressed. First it is now possible to bind keys to rotate the image in the annotation dialog. Second, clicking on an image in the thumbnail viewer will no longer start a new viewer, but reuse the old one.
Finally, a new splash screen has been added. This is the beginning of a contest to create a splash screen for KPhotoAlbum.
