User Interface Evaluation
An User Interface Evaluation for Release 3 is planned (can not be executed till release 3 with GUI v2 is implemented). General information can be found on User Interface Evaluation.

Topics:
 * 1) Versioning of an shared album
 * 2) * Currently no versioning is planned (but version comments can be put in the note pad). Does that work in practice?
 * 3) Implementation of a further list view of an album (see Faces_Browse_and_Display)
 * 4) either as Business Card View or
 * 5) as MD View

= Release 2 =

General Specification
Sorting
 * Changes in the sorting order and in the displayed hits per page in a picture list (also within an album) will always be stored till the end of the user session.

Big or Small Letters
 * All headlines will use big letters for main words.
 * All text will be written English, which means, that only the start word will be written with a big letter.

Results from the Meeting with the Institute (09.07.08)

 * 1) Album Lists
 * 2) * Number of albums that will be probably created
 * private albums: max 30 per person
 * published albums
 * middle dated: 10-20 (next 3 years), because research needs time and an album will only be released after a publication
 * long dated: more than 100
 * 1) * Affected GUI elements:
 * Drop down list active album
 * Drop down list search in published albums
 * List "My Albums"
 * List "Published Albums"
 * 1) * Outcome
 * Drop down list active album should have a scrollbar (perhaps also with a "Textfindefunktion")
 * Drop down list search in published albums should have a scrollbar and a "Textfindefunktion" (free-text search?)
 * Lists should have a free-text search
 * 1) Comment for an Album
 * 2) * Comment should be renamed to public description (this includes when publishing the album, the description will be published, too)
 * 3) * For the public description, a wider field is needed where the user can write and easily read several sentences.
 * 4) * For further private comments, a note pad minimum of the size of a half page is needed --> R3.5
 * 5) Export
 * 6) * It has to be visible on the GUI that the pictures for export are jpgs.
 * 7) New calculation of the pictures
 * 8) * The web-resolution (and the thumbnails - depends on the performance of the framework) can be calculated new depending of the concrete GUI requirements.
 * 9) * The pictures will be ingested during the switch to the new framework (still part of R2).
