Switched from Flickr: My $0.02

dberthia

I've recently moved from Flickr to SmugMug. For the most part, I'm happy with the transition, but I wanted to throw a few things out there in hopes that SmugMug might pick up on them:

• The batch photo organizer in Flickr is vastly superior. Being able to drag and drop photos and galleries is something I sorely miss.
• It's a pain to have to make copies of any photo in order to have that photo reside in multiple galleries. To make it worse, it looks like there is no way to copy more than one photo at a time.
• I'd like an easy way to display my most recent photos ala a Flickr photostream. I have to hack for this right now.
• I'd like an easy way to display a "Recent Galleries" section on my homepage. I have to hack for this right now.
• The mapping on SmugMug doesn't hold a candle to Flickr.
• It would be nice if the generated code for badges and slideshows validated in an XHTML Strict doc type. Embedding these things in any web site that uses XHTML strict will cause validation errors unless the code is manually changed.

Like I said, for the most part I'm happy. There seems to be a helpful community here that has great ideas for creating features in inventive ways. I've picked-up a lot of great tips that have helped me implement things I want, albeit in roundabout ways.

Are any of these things on the drawing board? Thanks for your time.

You can 'vote' for new features here, or add one of your own. They list which ones are in work, planned, etc.
