Don’ t remember how I tumbled into tonfotos. I have tried to find a new photo organizer and always failed. Tonfotos has the right feel, but missing some simple (?) features. I’ll post them in separate topics. Hope you may consider.
I’m not so happy with the location of the db, for several reasons:
- It’s on the windows installation disk and that’s a smaller disk and… not portable.
- I want to have the db for the photos on the usb disk where I keep the bulk of my photos, i.e. together with the photos. (I do plan to try adding NAS some day, but one db location is fine with me, just not the system disk)
- If it is somewhere in the folder/disk where I keep the photos, it will also automatically be backed up with the photos (while a backup of the windows data is a far different thing)
Furthermore, I find it very important that if I spend considerable time and effort on building albums, I must have those albums in an open format. Well OK if the program uses a binary db for interal working, but I want an import/export method. (I have 20 years history in an old organizer. So far I stick to it, because it keeps albums in an open format. No open format album import/export is a no-go). And ideal for me would be an automatic export (after any update)… again on the same disk, i.e. with the db.
