I have wanted to add categories for pictures for a while now, the main problem will be classifying existing pictures, I think I will write a script to classify portrait pictures as covers or posters and landscape pictures as screenshots, this won't be 100% but 80% of them should be right.

I think the categories should be

- Posters (Advertising for movies or games)
- Media covers (e.g. dvd covers, game covers)
- Media format pictures (e.g. cd scans)
- Studio photos (photos of the movies from the studios)
- Screen captures (actual captures of dvds/bluray/hd-dvd or in game screenshots)
- Artwork (3d art or conceptual art for games)

Any more needed?

Pictures such as this from "She Done Him Wrong" would fall under which category? Studio photos?

Thanks for the update Tom!

I agree with DaleCooper, the videos and trailers need to be moved. The cast/authers/directors are more important then the videos...

Yes but any auto categorization would place it as a poster unfortunately.

Well, the longer you wait the worse it's gonna get, no? I'd have no trouble going through all the pics I've uploaded, deleting & re-submitting them. Then there's also the report button. It might take time, but eventually it's gonna get sorted.

How about a system that would let us edit pictures? If we saw a picture that was in the wrong section, we could put it in the right place. Would this be conceivable?

1.
MOVIE Section - LEFT SIDE
| Movie Poster | Description | Trailer (truncated?) | Cast List (truncate?) | Custom Lists | Favorites

MOVIE Section - RIGHT SIDE
| 'Blue box' | Ratings box | Videos (truncated?) | Pictures/Posters | Reviews


agree!

2. Remove "for %movietitle%" from the headings

3. In the blue box the quicklings should include the number of objects: Reviews (5), Pictures (2), Trailer (1)...

4. Remove the "top voted ... pictures" block. Just show the numbers of votes on the pictures overview page (the one with the most votes should be automatically the primary one).

5. Personally i liked the old green box. It's ok to moving tags to the blue box but the other 'improvements' just blow up this box with less important infos

Yeah, it's a waste of space i think. I don't agree with the primary image, though. There's not much voting on images, and voting could be for the most arbitrary of reasons. Also remember what Prelude said about shirtless vogue poses.

You can already edit pictures but yes I will add the picture type into that form.

Good thing we do have editing as a possibility. Some of us would formulate ulcers if we had to do this for all our uploads.

I've added in image type selection when adding a picture which must be set to something. You can also click edit to change the image type. All existing images have been classifed as described above.

That's neat. Now I gotta go through all the pics I've posted. Are you supposed to mark DVD covers as posters or concept artwork? Also, are we going to get different sections to different image types, or the ability to sort pictures based on image type?

Don't know if anyone mentioned this, but it would be nice to have links on Artist, Author, Actor pages (i.e. Wikipedia, IMDB)

For now, I'm adding some link in my custom links, under 'Add Note' section (it accepts HTML links). It would be nice if each item page had this info as well tough.

I'm talking about the movie section here, which doesn't have DVD cover option. Many of the images in the movie section are DVD covers and I'm a bit confused where you're supposed to add them. "Concept artwork" for movies, what does it mean?

I don't think dvd covers should be added to be honest unless there are no movie posters available. The current ones have been classifed as posters.

Concept art is stuff like this :

Ah, yes. I figured it was ok to add DVD covers. I was fooled by the "Cover art, photos and screenshots". Because I haven't really set foot outside the movie section, I didn't realize it was the same in every section. Anyway, I only add DVD covers when it's impossible to find a poster.

I'm glad this is now in play; I can put the right type when I upload now. But moderators will have to edit a bunch of my past submissions and put them in the right place.

Oh man. I think we need to have something, like tagging, but where you add links instead. There's enough clear potential for me not to have to elaborate. The links will have to be set as opening in a new window, however, to make sure Listal doesn't get ignored. ;)

DVD suggestion: Country of release to "edit item". This would distinguish between a UK R0 and a Hong Kong R0, for example. Little flags would be nice too.

I would like to have clickable tags when adding/removing tags to an item.
It could display the user contributed tags and the most common tags from the community to that specific item separately and allow adding/removing tags with a click.
Something like what is available in del.icio.us social bookmarking. Rateyourmusic.com has something similar to what I am mentioning already implemented and some ideas could be taken from there.
