It's amazing how trying to use your own software gets you to focus on the details. I made all the photo album package work the way I thought I would want it to but then after uploading a couple hundred photos I realized there were real shortcomings in the UI. Before actually using it (but after fairly exhaustive testing) I would have sworn it was actually pretty usable. Now I know better. Some examples of things I ran into:
  • When you bulk edit a page it sends you back to the page you just edited when usually I want to go to the next page.
  • It does rotations in the background and because it sends the page with sizes you sometimes get the html out of sync with the thumbnail. I have rotated several images twice because I was not paying attention.
  • Long upload times means it is very easy to accidentally interupt an upload in progress (this last one I don't know how to fix).
