So I really want to find some sort of network photo sharing software, since nothing seems to be compatible between my wife’s Mac and my Windows and Linux systems that doesn’t involve browsing through directory structure to view files.
I was thinking that a database with a table for photo information (i.e. file location, date taken, camera model, etc), another table to list keywords associated with the photos, and possibly another table to hold the smart album information.
If I was any good at programming i’d write something myself and give it a php-based front-end, but I couldn’t do much more than creating the database to hold the information, and that would be pretty much limited to Postgres, not the sqlite that seems to be preferred for Firefly development.
Maybe I’m just rambling here, and need to go hire myself a web programmer to make it happen. Anybody have a better idea how to share albums of photos across my network between disparate operating systems?
