Zenphoto

The first release candidate for Zenphoto 1.2.8 is now available for download and testing from our download page. Please note that we have taken down the official 1.2.7 release as we feel the RC is more stable. This mainly because of the recent quite major bug discovery.

• Major bugfix for accidentally deleted image descriptions when refreshing meta data [sbillard]
• Search and tags for Zenpage pages and news articles [sbillard]
• Plugins:
  • Image_album_statistics plugin: first image link option [acrylian]
• Themes
  • Zenpage search support in Efferscence+ [sbillard]
  • Zenpage search and tags support in Zenpage-default [acrylian]
  • Lots of minor bugfixes and improvements

It just has been discovered that under certain circumstances all of your image descriptions could be cleared if you refresh the meta data. This could happen if you have Exif/IPTC data in the image but not a description. The same applies to the title.

Since we are a small team we have only one developement stream that is under continous developement so that we can't provide a bugfix release inbetween. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.

NOTE: dynamic albums have an .alb suffix. Append .xmp to that name so that the dynamic album sidecar (...)

Use to overlay thumbnail images with icons depending on the state of the image.

Thumbnails may be flagged with the following icons:

• : New—images whose date (or mtime) are within the selected "range" of the current day.

• : Geotagged—images which have latitude/longitude information in their metadata.

The icon with which the thumbnail is flagged is selectable by option. The above standard icons are (...)
