burgen 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2005 how do you feel when you want to find a picture out of >1000 pictures from your computer. well if you are organized enough you may have a specific name for every pic and/or sort different pics in different directories, even so, when you have more than 200 pics in a folder, it is still pain in the *bottom* to find 1.so we need a new picture format, one that like mp3. with any search tool you can search mp3 by tag informatin like author, album, et al because these information are in the mp3 file. now we need a picture format that can store additional information like place, time, people, camera, key word et al, so that these information can be indexed and searched like mp3 or pdf file.

grrlfromoz 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2005 don't they have software for to keep your pic files organized like that? I'm sure I've seen it somewhere... *thinking hard* I agree, it's a great idea to have the ability (and option) to add info tags to images Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandymc 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 ahhh... for searching such a file that you have inserted tags... try to use google desktop (soryy for not providing the link, but it i think it is on the first ilne on google search), there are many software used to organized your picture or mp3 or e-books, but i don't really need it, i can organize it by differenc each pict to indexed folder... as easy as that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yahoo also made one recently but I have not yet tried. MSN desktop search still has a lot of room to improve though. I posted some of my suggestion in another post.

burgen 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 Why would you want to put so much info for a picture? 41692[/snapback] for the purpose of searching, for example, each time you go our for vacation you take you digital camera and take hundreds of pictures, then you will just upload them all in you computer, again and again you have thousands of them and then one day you want to find one specific pic in which you are with some one and at some certain places, it will take you some time to find it, but if you can add such information in the pic then it will take you 1 sec to find it by search the name of person and place.

Wonder what is in those.. 43422[/snapback] I have more than 2000 pictures in my computer, you know, when you have a digital camera, that is not a big number, every time on a trip or event I took my digital camera with me and take many pictures, normally more than 200.of course many of them are just not good or repeats, but the point is you take as many as you can, then you select the best when you have a chance to look through them on a computer.
