First, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
I'm evaluating drupal as a website for a bunch of friends. Mostly, we'll be putting photos on there.
Taxonomies look like a particularly good way to organise the photos. I can have one for 'Parties', one for 'Holidays' and one for each year. By nesting them in different ways, I can navigate the content easily (using taxonomy_menu.module).
Some problems:
1) I'd like each "gallery" to have a separate taxonomy, editable by the user to which the gallery belongs.
2) I'd like to be able to upload a bunch of files in one hit (or import them from another directory on the webserver), and then classify them.
Moreover, the taxonomy thing, while remarkably powerful, isn't particularly easy to grok. It'd be cool, while setting up a personal photo gallery, to be able to create the taxonomy using a familiar 'create folder' metaphor. The fact that this creates a hierarchical taxonomy isn't interesting to the average user.
Comments
Oh, another thing
It'd be really cool if, while looking at my gallery, there was an upload link/button in there, which preselected the particular gallery (taxonomy terms) to attach to the image.
feature requests go under the module's project entry
First, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
no problem. please file feature requests under image module project
note that 2) is already available for administrators. permissions need to be sorted in order to make it accessible to others. also, others usually have no way to upload multiple items to web server.
How to upload multiple images?
Could you point me at instructions for uploading multiple files? Is this directly related to the image module? If not, how do I import these files as images?
Read image module docs.

Creating taxonomy
User created taxo terms are only possible since about yesterday. So this needs to be implemented in the image module. File a feature request if you want to.
