what features of Photopost Pro are you looking for ?
are there any examples of a PP feature you want but might not make it into Robbo's gallery ?
Photopost was the best gallery in 2001. Now it just plain sucks. And their Xenforo integration sucks as well.
I only think a relatively small minority of the crowdfunders are currently using Photopost.
I'm not sure Robbo has thought about an importer from Photopost (I could be wrong).

When we click on a gallery image which inserted to post content, can we comment, tag people right here?
(This feature like Facebook image, it's improve social activity)

Wouldn't that be kind of late ? Robbo needs to make all the final decisions, but don't you think now is the time to clear up what IS and IS NOT going to be a part of the gallery ? I like the crowdfunding method for Xenforo and I really want this to go well. I think managing expectations is important, especially as I really don't see a "final" feature list. We all know the devil is in the details.
I suspect Robbo himself would benefit from finalizing what the Media gallery is and isn't. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Media Gallery
images and video
heavily influenced by IP.Gallery, facebook
easy experience of facebook including:
...tagging,
...likes and
...comments
"a big public gallery for the website"
albums done basically the same as facebook.
will be able to create their own albums, upload images, link videos etc all on their own profile.
a watermark editor to put words or images over the top in layers
using the XenForo flash uploader
choose an image from the gallery to insert in a post from within the Xenforo TinyMCE editor.
Note: this is a list I made myself.
Media Gallery (Simple Gallery, Version 2.0)
user albums
global albums which are more seperate and like 1.x
user albums to have good privacy options, including per album
watermark editor for ACP to put on certain albums and for users when they upload
integration with a friends addon Naatan will soon be releasing - will add privacy options for friends only (like facebook)
facebook like tagging
facebook like bulk uploading
facebook like commenting and liking
alert settings for anything and everything (including options to email)
ability to watch albums
option to have images on a public web folder to support the cloud
global albums will be able to be nested and have permissions like nodes - will probably extend the node system
user albums wont be nested (unless my mind is changed)
ability to report anything
select picture for album thumbnail
create profile picture (avatar) from existing image, like facebook
ability to select an image you have uploaded into a post
videos will be able to be added like 1.x in any area the same as images (as long as permissions allow it)
sharing like you can with posts
option for different comment styles, simple like facebook, simple but with some bbcode supported or full like posts
user criteria so you can make trophies etc for certain amounts of uploads
daily stats integration
latest images/albums sections
custom lightbox

This certainly sounds amazing. I'm looking forward to it.
Can anyone think about what needs clarifying ?
I have two things:
Tagging: will you use xfrock's free XenTags ? Can you ? or will you make your own ? what do people want ?
Will new Gallery items appear in What's New ? searching in the forum ? How will people in the forum know about new Gallery items ? (gallery <=> forum integration).

1. There are 2 type of Tags, People Tag & XenTag. You must ask for what type of tags or both will be supported?
2. If it supports XenTag, it will be a searchable content, that also mean it could be able on What's New.
And Robbo, what do you think?

Sounds great ! XenTag sounds pretty powerful.
Searchable: how ? What is getting indexed ? Would I have to search for that tag ?
I really have no idea how tagging an image in a gallery will get it to show up in what's new ?
Are you only talking about images in posts ? or images in posts and the gallery ?

If a developer want his content be on What's new, he must make it to a type of searchable content.
Tag is not related to what's new
.>> Are you only talking about images in posts ? or images in posts and the gallery ?
I asked for something make image in post & image in the gallery is the same image (not two). (This post). In this case, a gallery image is an image object. We can like, comment, tag, tag people anywhere it was displayed. (Like fb image, image in a status is also in an album)

I'm not reading any of those replies. I don't have time. Except one...

And to Digital Doctor...
I have my specs. I have my plans. They are currently final. They will all be laid out to the $50+ people in trello when I start working properly on it. That is when feedback comes in and things change around, but not until I have a first test build out.
This is a development process, I do things right. I don't take a bunch of features someone spits out and hack them in. I spend about 70% of my time thinking and designing code, not actually coding.
A lot of stuff is coming over from facebook and most likely be better than facebook in many ways. Tagging will be on images in the galleries but might not (at least at first) be on the images you pull into posts.

The crowd fund is about him showing what he plans to develop, and people funding that idea. Not about him putting up a blank canvas and everyone having their way with it.

Robbo: I am just trying to avoid problems with people wanting Feature X, Y, and Z after you are finished. Anyway, I am excited about the gallery and like your previous work, the design of your website, etc ... so I suppose I should just relax. Sorry for hassling things.

I don't know if you could or if you have since sending this message as I have been away. If you would like into the $50 area then we can sort it out privately.

It will be released when it is done after starting full time on it very soon. I have had to leave for the last week which is yet another delay. Progress will start to speed up a lot soon.
Private betas should happen this month and public beta towards the end of the year I expect unless I release early ones.
