In addition, .needcache existence. * Rewrite google maps integration to use horde_map javascript * Add a way to easily perform image actions such as downloading from the gallery view...something along the lines of either a small contextual menu or simply a link on the image tile, also a textual link torefactor usage of this methoddisplay the full image view would be very helpful for galleries using a lightbox - sothat client code doesn't have to know anything abouttheSQL table structure. i.e. get rid of the WHERE parameter. All non Ansel_Gallery code should be calling Ansel_Gallery::listImages and not Ansel_Stroage list images....which leads to:user could see the exif data/comments/image actions etc...Make Ansel_Storage purely++++Random notes Change Ansel_Storage::listImages() to accept aclassparameter array instead of the gallery_id and the WHERE parameter. In addition, .need to refactor usage of this method so thatAnsel_Image/Ansel_Gallery/Ansel_Tagger etc... use and NEVERclientcode.code doesn't have to know anything about the SQL table structure. i.e. get rid of the WHERE parameter. All non Ansel_Gallery code should be calling Ansel_Gallery::listImages and not Ansel_Stroage::listImages: list* methods should return ids, get* methods should return objects.Review all ansel js, output all strings in js and consolidate all the gallery_view js into a single *.js file.Refactor Ansel_Gallery to make-- Make itless dependent on the Share implementation for when/if Shares changes again. (Maybe use composition insteadeasier to add new !ModeHelper objects. There should be an init function somewhere that returns the available modes that are installed. Normal and Date should be 'built in' and always available - maybe parse the contents of a special custom Mode folder? Related to above, come up with a detailed idea ofinheritancewhat a gallery "style" will be...clarify what a "mode" is vs a "style", how to allow for (and what to call) special modes (such as a possible "remote gallery") that cannot be arbitrarily switched between modes (like the current Normal and Date modes can be). Maybe a gallery "type" that is specified initially that cannot be changed (Local, Remote, etc...)? And, obviously along with all this, finally provide a UI (and backend support) to allow the user to define their own gallery styles. (Layout, color, thumbnail type etc..). Maybe use "displayMode" for changing theShare object).way images are grouped (Date, Location, Normal) etc...then a GalleryType to specify a "local" gallery for images (maybe video too) vs "remote" gallery for allowing galleries to display remotely hosted images from, say, facebook or flickr.Make it easier to add new !ModeHelper objects.

Modularize the photo (and maybe gallery) actions so we can easily plug in new actions, such as "Send this photo to Flickr" etc... Maybe a "import/export" ability - to transfer images to other services like Flickr, Facebook, and import them from services that the user has perms to. Layout ideas: http://ajaxian.com/archives/cross-browser-inline-block lazy load image thumbnails for some styles: Needs to be implemented on top of prototype... http://www.appelsiini.net/2007/9/lazy-load-images-jquery-plugin Replace current tagging implementation with the !PrettyTagger stuff from Kronolith - still to decide, can we completely replace Ansel's Tagger with the Content tagger? Ansel_Gallery::addImage() should take an Ansel_Image object, not the raw image data to create the object.
