Hi Felix, Is the picture tagging still in development? No rush because when it is done it will be the best addition to this web site, thanks to you......

    Dellajoy thank you for the kind words! 😊

    BStonebridge I've taken a few days off work (my real job, not working on this website 😉) and plan to finish the feature this week or on the weekend. Since Vienna is in total lockdown there isn't anything else to do, so (hopefully) no distractions

        LJMpaintings I'm always interested in Bill Alexander compositions, but he's pretty obscure and not a lot of his TV work is readily accessible. My suspicion is some of his episodes were taped over, as was common in the '60s into the '70s. I've e-mailed both KOCE and Alexander Art and never got a reply. Although Alexander Art always takes my money. 😁

          The programming is done, I only need to add the different categories. This is what I came up with:

          Anything I missed? Or something that could be removed?

          Hi Felix - the only bit of clarification I would like is about the trees. Evergreen are in leaf all year round. Deciduous trees lose their leaves in winter. Pictures painted in a summer time will show all trees in leaf. Would deciduous trees in leaf be classed as evergreen? Minor detail I know, sorry

            Felix Just some very quick thinking done here. You might wanna add 'boat' (man-made), 'animal' (special), 'snowfield' (landscape), mill (man-made), house (an-made), cypress (vegetation), ...
            Does 'stream' also include 'rapids'?

                @Voy Kay#1592 thanks! A stream is everything smaller than a river. So everything that gets painted with individual strokes I'd say

                  Felix Conifer is right, Bob uses "evergreen" whenever he means a pine tree, though there are many evergreen species not remotely related to pines.

                  Now, there are a few ambiguous trees. I'm specifically thinking of the whimsical spindly trees with leaves or needles that spray up. I tend to think of them as some sort of redwood or cedar, but I don't recall if Bob ever names the one or other variety.

                      Might be an idea to add "farm" to the landscape category. Just my two cents worth. Hope it helps!

                        i think it is great, if you cant find what you are looking for you should be doing something else!
                        question, once users are able to populate the db with your options are you preventing the updating of the db if 2 users are both working on the same painting? as usual you are doing a great job.

                          BStonebridge Thanks!

                          At first, I will just collect suggestions from different users and consolidate them in the next step. I'll most likely go through all of the paintings by hand then, automatically preselect the most suggested tags and finalize the selection

                              The tagging page is now back online.

                              As always, if you have any suggestions or problems feel free to post them here. Thanks to everyone for helping out! 🙂

                              More features like tagging specific paintings, challenge badges and such are coming soon. (Or a little bit later, depending on the weather 😉 )

                                how do you get the feature to work, where is the launch point to get started??

                                i think i got it, see the tag instructions, appears you are controlling what painting pops up, good idea, great job as usual

                                Felix Hi when a search of BR paintings is done and the key word is SPRNIG and lets say 50 paintings are displayed, what is the sequence of the painting you are providing. Thanks

                                    BStonebridge It will probably in chronological order unless anyone has an alternative suggestion?
