Introduction
Gramps does not currently do much to help with managing media. Currently, the user must add the media to the file system, and then reference it in Gramps.
Problems:
- merging distributed versions with alternate media (different, edited, new, deleted) is manually done by user
- media added to file system directories may be missing and hard to detect (see Media Manager tool, though)
- media can't currently be dragged and dropped on Gramps
- not all media need exist on the file system; how to handle URI's like http, ftp?
- gramps webapp needs to be able to store imported images in a special place
Proposed Solution
Solution should keep current use in place.
Concerns
If you have any concerns about this project, feel free to add them to this section:
- How will Gramps deal with file system filenames that it can't understand?
- How could one rearrange the image directories and still be able to work with Gramps?
