Better meta data and better tagging

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Many things happened over the thanksgiving weekend. First there’s a lot of work done in reading the svg metadata, parsing and using it. Now, all the tags inside the svg files are used as tags for the images. Also, the title of the clipart page first is obtained from the svg metadata. If the svg metadata did not have a title, then we make up a title from the original svg filename.

Over the search bar a bread crumb is now visible that shows where the user is, and how he is opening the tags and relative tags. Under the search bar, the most prominent tags are shown. This helps the user to fine tune his search.

Users can tag

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Registered users can now share in tagging different images on the website. An edit box will appear in the image page only if you are logged in.

Fill in the edit box by typing in the new tags separated by spaces, and click the tag button.
