GHammer:
You know, I'd like to be able to use MC for sharing my images as well as managing them. Being able to make an album, publish it to the 'Net, sharing it from my machine, or writing it to a CD/DVD are things I enjoy doing. Since MC already has the info on them, why not go the extra step and let me share/publish too?

Currently I use JAlbum for this, but I'd think MC could add the same functionality and then some.

marko:
Been touting the similar notions for a while myself.

I reckon it's been discussed somewhere along the corridors of power in Minnesota too.

Was it a full-on meeting, with JimH banging fist on the boardroom table demanding DVD authoring and webalbum creativity by the end of the month?

Or was it a disgruntled JohnT over by the water dispenser, mumbling to Matt about how he could do that stuff no problem, if only he could get the rescources?
:D :D

I reckon it's coming. If it happens sooner rather than later, I'll be very [pleasantly] surprised.
In the meantime, gentle reminders that we've not forgotten can't do any harm, surely :)

rpalmer68:
Another one here that wants it too. 

I use JAlbum as well, but would love to be able to manage and then sync my files to an online album quickly and easily.

At one stage I thought MC11 was being tested with syncing with Coppermine, but then all went quiet.

JimH/Matt: Since this is a more restricted forum, any comment on the possibility of this?  It's the next step in photo/image management that I think would be a really good "New Feature" for MC12. Certainly one I'd pay for.

Cheers
Richard

Jaguu:
This has been a long standing request of mine. I did not find any external application (even the best ones) that allows to import MC image tags, so that this information can be used elsewhere. Usually one would have to re-tag everything by hand again. MC is a great database for images, but there is very little we can do with the large number of images stored there.

I would like to have the following features:
1) ability to create cycling wallpapers from a playlist
2) ability to create screensavers with images and sound to be saved as *.scr or even .exe file
3) ability to create menu driven slideshows on cd/dvd to make nice presents to friends and a good way to advertise MC (kind of a read only version to be put on cd).
4) For me not important, but probably for many upload of images to some web-site.

hit_ny:
I get a funny feeling that v12 is going to be the one that polishes up on the images side of things. They decided to allow exif tags now, some work on video done as well.

But video might be more demanding than images to squeeze into this one.
