Bob,
I wonder if you can say anything about the way that the new version of
TMGW plans to deal with images? In particular I have in mind whether
there will be a more automatic route to integrate them into the tag list
for a person; or, if I want them incorporated into the description for a
person, do I have to create separate picture tags for each image,
re-writing the image text information into the memo field?
Personally, having over a thousand images spanning more than 250
individuals I would like to be able to categorise these images with
more rigour, for example by type of image (35mm, glass negative,
Polaroid) as well as by accurate or approximate date, by source, and by
location or ownership. It would be nice to be able to control their
order (at the moment they are automatically ordered alphabetically). It
would be helpful to be able to do searches on them both within
individuals and between.
Any comments?
