Suggestion for ftp.php

Step 1
Do you need to pre-specify how many pictures? How about one browse button and when you browse to your first photo, it adds another field for photo #2. You just keep doing that until you are done and you press upload. If not easy to do, how about changing the standard upload to one photo?

Step 4 should be step 3, then based on the gallery you want to add, it should pre-select the most likely sizes and where they are going.

Pekka, this may be more difficult, but can you make is possible to select only inbuilt lens for bodies with fixed lenses, i.e. today EE told me that my G2 used my 2X converter?

Can be done. Let's add this to "good suggestions" list.

That is easy....

This is a good point. It should fetch the default paths from default photodata.

Mail me your database and some photos to upload. I'll see how to improve lens guessing to match also situations you have there.

Some days ago I posted the same suggestion, but had no answer.

One way of doing this may be just avoiding lens guessing for bodies with fixed lenses. These may be marked as "Fixed lenses" in the Cameras database. If this flag is on, you just skip lenses guessing, as it'sn obviously unnecessary.

If you want to have the inbuilt lens in the lenses database anyway, just assign this lens to the camera in the cameras database, and that's all.

If there is anything that I am missing that makes all of this more difficult, just tell me.

Sorry about that. I'm not intentionally neglecting anyone, just busy and may forget to reply.

I think I'll add a FIXED LENS dropdown into cameras, and there you select ONE lens from current lens setup.

Or, it may be overall more flexible solution to choose a selection of possible lenses for EVERY camera in database, but this may be too much to keep up to date, is it?

I only have 2 bodies, one of them with fixed lens, and the other one a dslr which may use all the rest of lenses that I have. So, I think the first option is enough for me. Also, it is obviously easier to maintain and also faster to code.

Perhaps other people with 2 dslr bodies from different manufacturers may need the second option, I don't know...
