Notices

I know a few things that I would personally like;
*A way to index or save image views. So that when you are looking for a certain "group" of images you can click and it filters everything. The N900 Photo app should do this however I have never got it to work properly much like the meta tag information.

*Searchable! I don't understand why this was never thought about with the default photo application. As it stands now I have to grep from the xterm on what I am looking for.

*Shortcut via text input. Being able to start the file name and have predictive text bring up a list of images which fall under that category or name.

I started a small python QT app myself last night after thinking about this. I know python well enough however I am very green when it comes to QT. If I get anything working half decent I will let you all know otherwise I will keep an eye out for alternatives.

It's pretty clear that the Photo application was never meant for large collections but neither was the built in media / music player in my opinion.

Thanks again everyone, your suggestions were wonderful!

thats great on the app side. look forward to seeing first cut. feel free to ask about Qt.

There is probably a reason why there is no search in any of the N900 apps. The plan I believe is that there should be a system wide search. maemo and meego will be using tracker. At time of release Tracker was not quite ready.

http://projects.gnome.org/tracker/

also have a look at the tracker gui in the repos.

by the way this is my opinion not Nokias.
