Galleria: The Basics

Yeah, I'm approaching 40 hours of work this week, have a program and a circuit design due tomorrow (circuit design is a working mini-computer processor). A lab and math due today... And finals next week. Plus moving out. Its been hectic this semester and I sincerely apologize for the wait. I did not think that I would be so overwhelmed this semester. I took a much lighter course selection next semester and I've only got work throughout the summer. I see b1 by the end of May hopefully (I know, 5 months late).

Trust me, I've got some very good people helping me with a few key features and bashing ideas of them to make Galleria even better than what it was going to be before.
 
Really looking forward to this as it would be great to get my first set of 250,000 images online.

A few things I would like to see
  1. Uploaded files to be renamed "category title" followed by normal naming.
  2. Category description.
 
Yes, I could be totally wrong but I am under the impression it would be better for search engine results.
I don't think the file name has as much to do with SEO than the content around the photo and where that content exists. (alt/title/H1 tags, etc.) For example, when I did a Google search for "Brett Peters" most of the photos that came up didn't have either in the file name. It was the content on the page that gave them high visibility.

This is correct, it really has nothing to do with file names. It more has to do with the meta data around it, the semantic markup being done well and I believe google can also pull information from EXIF.

Seems to be a lot of keyword image renaming going on for me to discard it as playing part of image SEO
Thanks, I was unaware that search engines could use Exif data, I will do some research to see if it is worth me batch editing images.
 
Brett ...
I wonder if a periodic mass renaming script behind the scenes could help.
Images attached to posts ... if given a good name ... I think could really help with SEO.
Like the image I just attached.

I could rename images specifically thinking of google in mind as well.

Digital Doctor, I am actually a bit unsure if what you are suggesting would work with Galleria image renaming ?
 
As I said before, if you need IPB gallery data to test your importer give me a shout. I doubt this has been mentioned but I'd like the ability to choose from which albums pictures go into the recent images thumbnails. This will be vital for me and perhaps others that run more mature forums but like to keep it safe for work.
 
Just so you know, the real reason why beta 4 has being hung up is Kovifor is waiting on the smartphone apps (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, WebOS, and Windows Phone) that Bobster is making for this and LN Blog.

Everyone should harass Bobster so he gets his act together and finishes them sooner.
