Pierrot21's dashboard

1) I would like to decide if my synth is worth to be seen by everybody, and should be seen by everybody:
1-a) Working on a topic, I will try different way of synthing: number of pictures, size of the pictures, changing background aso. It's useful for me to view the different tests to compare, but they should'nt be in the 'recently synthed' until I decide which one is Ok to become a public one (and eventualy delete the other ones, or all of them; or keep them private to study them later.)
1-b) Playing with Photosynth, They are some good synths to create with private topics like people, children, cars, houses, meetings aso; that I would like to share (using links) with friends, parents, house-owner aso; but which should'nt be public. In France they are many laws to protect the 'private-life!

2) You could automaticaly prevent a synth to be public if it's less than 50%, 60% 70% or 80% or even more so it would give a better idea of what can be done with Photosynth.
The creator of a 'less synthy synth' would be able to view it, but for everybody searching with tags, or in the 'recently synthed' it would be more interesting and faster.

Thank you!

PS: about 'private life', what about a possibility to delete all the pics as we delete a synth?
so the pictures don't stay any longer on your disks if no more used in a synth
.

Working with a turntable I got many beautiful point-clouds I would like to print by just pressing a key; (or capture them so I could put many of them on the same sheet) but they should be inversed to save ink! that is black points on a white background.
Thank you

(first posted in the long-long blog about 'what features ...)

It would be nice if we could REPLACE a synth after adding or removing pictures to a previous synth.
Now, if we publish a synth with the same name, it will create a second synth (and we have to delete the first one). After a warning message (OK to replace or cancel?), it would replace the older synth, but KEEP tags, geotags, comments, number of views, and favourite links (stars).
And I allready ask for the LOG to have a different name for each different version (ie: name / date/hour/min)
Thank you

Hi again; I'm now addicted to Photosynth and I have a lot of wishes / ideas; I hope you'll like them as constructive ones and not as criticisms ;-))

I was lucky enough to find there are LOGS
1) As instaling Photosynth on the PC could we choose the directory for the log-files (they are now in my local settings/temp/... maybe I missed but I don't remember any question)
2) If I generate another synth with a name I used before, the new log will overwrite the old one, by using the same name; a version number or even better a filename including date and time would be great

In the log, I can read how many synths, and then the pictures in each synth
3) It would be very useful to read the names of the pictures which are NOT in any synth
4) It could be interesting to know the pictures which are in two or many different synths (binding them)

That's not very important but
5) Could the first synth be called with 1 and not 0 : synth 1 (and not synth 0) and the same for the first picture 1 ant not 0
6) The corresponding names of the jpegs on your servers / computers are not very useful; (I tried to access but acces was denied ;-)))) It's rather confusing on the end-user version. It could be suppressed. But reading that ;dzi file is about 2 or 3 times biger (with points I guess and other technical things) I had the dream, once the synth is done, to replace only the jpeg part in a .dzi after cleaning the picture. OK that's just a dream!

I hope you can understand my french, and that you can do something about what I tried to explain, even it's not of the first importance.

1) I would like to be able to delete a synth I have done if I'm not satisfied; so I could do it again and better with less or more pictures.

2) Photosynth is allready a great product, it would be more interesting avoiding to be just a photogalery by suppressing the synth which sinty less then 50% or even 75%

If a synth is located on the map (beautiful Virtual Eath) they're should be a tag or something to show it's done, and a possibility to see where it is located...
