    Again, Thanks for your replay :-) Well, for me it's not that important to have the software in German -- it's more a question of convenience. But I know some people for whom it's a real issue since their English is not good enough (not that mine was that good, haha). I think you could broaden your user base a lot by localizing Snapact. But still -- it's doubtlessly more important to get all the features up and running and have the software where you want it to be functionally before thinking about localization.

    Best regards!

    Once again, thanks a lot, I appreciate your fast reply :-) I totally understand you can't make any promises about the implementation of certain features. I'm looking forward to the next release(s)... – ruceb, on October 26, 2008 17:58

    Thanks for your explanation! I've now noticed what my fault was: I only assigned images to albums, not to tags. It didn't occur to me to do so, since there is only an "album" panel, but none for "tags" (or am I missing something here)? I intuitively used drag'n'drop to assign albums (instead of tags) to some images. Tagging some images manually showed me that of course they are easily found then :-) So maybe there's room for the improvement of tags management... – ruceb, on October 26, 2008 17:57

    Thanks Kramer and George for your responses!

    As to my ACDSee comparison: Of course they've made a great software. But -- I think that there exactly happened what you are trying to avoid: The software is not bloated, not really easy to use anymore. Plus: Direct image comparison is such an important feature for every photo professional, but except Adobe Bridge CS3, any application I've seen is lacking a good way to deal with this.

    Hhm, I don't really know which version of Snapact I'm working with, because I have not found a way to display its version info. Anyway, I tried George's suggestions for the search field like so: "keyword:family", "keyword: family", "keyword: "family" and so on, but I have no luck. Obviously, it's only searching inside the physical folder just displayed and not throughout the entire database? But it's well possibly that I am doing something wrong here.

    Just one last thing if I may: IMHO multi-monitor support comes directly after RAW-support, regarding importance of features. Do you plan to add this some day?

    Thanks for your efforts!

    Do you think this is one of the best points? Mark it as a good point

    some quick suggestions/wishes for future versions
    I am not a coder at all, so I have no clue if my suggestions are hard to implement or not. But I am working professionally with photography/graphics software all the time, so this is a user's viewpoint, regarding usability.

    So my suggestions would be:

    1. What about a "smooth scrolling" (like in Pictomio, GPUviewer, Photoshop CS4 and so on)? Also it would be great if one could have the program refresh (rebuild) the thumbnails on demand, since they're rather blurry when showing them big in the thumbnail view. The "refresh button" does not do this yet.

    2. I'd love to see multi-monitor support; I'd like to put the viewer on my right monitor, for example, and the thumbnail view on the left one. The viewer would update whenever I choose a new picture.

    3. RAW-support is a must for professionals. Could possibly done using components of the free DCRaw project.

    4. When is the search function going to ready? I'd love to see the possibility of complex searches ("value_a AND value_b"; "value_a AND value_b NOT value_C"; "value_a OR value_b AND value_c" and so on).

    5. A possibility to compare several (say at least 6 at once) pictures on one viewer screen (by choosing more than one in the thumbnail view) and rate them as "keeper" or "trash" (for example like with Adobe Bridge CS3).

    6. DO you plan multi-language support? My language is German, and while I can get along with English GUIs, it's so much easier with an interface in my own language of course. You might have all strings in an XML-file so users could translate themselves and upload or send you these translations.

    OK, just my five cents. The program really looks promising and could be a real free alternative to ACDseePro one day. Looking forward to any updates! Thanks for making this program free!
