In this article we will focus on the concept of sharing photo books..

PHOTO BOOK AUTHORIZATION

You know it is possible to share a photo book linked to an album. This can be done by going to the bottom of the column that appears to the right of the photo album viewing area.

There are 2 levels of authorization:

1. the right to view: by checking this option, you authorize contacts with access to your album to browse your photo book at leisure with full screen viewing display for more comfort and pleasure
2. the right to order: by checking this option, you authorize contacts with access to your album to order your photo book and have it delivered to their home without having to contact you.
   Of course, you may check this option only if you have already authorized the viewing of the photo book.

These permissions only apply to contacts who have access to the album to which the photo book is attached.

IMPORTANT:

All contacts who have access to your album will have the same rights to your photo book, regardless of the authorizations applied to the album or the contacts themselves.

This means that if a contact is not allowed to order photo prints, this restriction does not apply to photo books where order rights are open.

In the 2 preceding articles, you saw how to manage your default authorizations and how to personalize them for each of your contacts.

In this article we will explore how to manage sharing with folders.

CONTROL SHARING WITH FOLDERS CONTAINING ALBUMS

Folders are a useful tool for classifying and organizing your media library while improving your productivity at the same time:

• By applying certain preferences to several albums at once
• By centralizing access to the sharing options for all the albums that they contain

The second point is what we will be talking about.
  To access these options, click on the folder’s “ACTION” button and choose “Folder properties.”

  In the window that appears, click on the share tab. The albums contained in the folder are classified by type: PRIVATE, SHARED or PUBLIC. You can control the authorizations according to the type.

SHARED ALBUMS () :

The whole authorizations menu is available for each contact on the albums that have been shared with them.

If you click on a contact, the list of albums they have access to appears on the right side of the window.

You can modify their access rights to the album or albums of your choice

PUBLIC ALBUMS () :

The whole authorizations menu is available for each album.

You can modify the authorizations offered for each one. They will apply to all of your contacts.

PRIVATE ALBUMS () :   As their name indicates, these albums aren’t shared, and as a result no setting options are available.

  Remember to confirm your settings so that they will be remembered and saved. They will be applied immediately.

REMEMBER: there are no share settings on the folders themselves since you do not share the folder, just the albums it contains.

We looked at default authorizations in a previous article. Sometimes these default settings don’t suit your needs, so it’s necessary to refine and personalize them for each contact.

In this article, we will show you how to do it.

PERSONALIZING AUTHORIZATIONS FOR EACH CONTACT⁽¹⁾

This can be done in 2 ways:

• by using the “SHARING” tab in the album properties window:

  Check or uncheck the authorizations that you think apply contact by contact.

  

• by using the “Albums shared” tab on the contact card (in your contacts book):

  Modify the sharing options the way you want, album by album.

  

⁽¹⁾ These changes take effect immediately on the sharing that has been done. They do not change the default authorizations settings in “My account” or the preferences selected for each of your contacts

As you know, Joomeo is a powerful management tool for sharing de vos photos et de vos vidéos avec vos contacts. your photos and videos with your contacts. It allows you to fine-tune the access rights of each contact to the albums that you share with them.

In a series of 3 articles, we will take stock of the different ways to modify the authorizations according to your needs.

First, let’s look at default authorizations.

DEFAULT AUTHORIZATION SETTING⁽¹⁾

1. In the “My Account” section and more specifically in the “My preferences” tab:

   You can adjust the authorizations you would like to give your contacts by default when you share an album.

   

2. In the “Contacts book” section accessible from the “TOOLS” menu:

   When you select a contact and double click on it, you directly access the “Properties” tab of the latter.By checking “Activate the contact’s preferences” you access a list of options. Among them you will find the default authorizations granted to this contact (cf. the red arrows in the image below).

   

3. In the “SHARING” section of Album Properties, accessible by double-clicking on the album itself:

   When you choose to make the album accessible to all of your contacts (“RESTRICT ACCESS” in OFF mode), the selected sharing options are valid for all contacts, whatever the preferences specified for each one.

   

⁽¹⁾ Aside from the 3rd point, the default settings do not change the sharing that has already been done. They only affect the sharing done after their validation.

KEYWORDS IN JOOMEO

Are you familiar with our keyword system? Here’s a little feature on keywords to refresh your memory, or introduce you to the subject.

IMPORT KEYWORDS (OR TAGS) FOR YOUR IMAGES INTO JOOMEO

The keywords you add to your images using photo processing software such as Lightroom or Photoshop can be retained in Joomeo. This will prove very useful when searching your albums using the search engine.

In order to save your photos’ keywords in your Joomeo space, you simply need to check the option ”import IPTC data keywords” in the “Import” section of your account preferences.

ADDING KEYWORDS TO YOUR IMAGES

You must use our keyword manager when you want to add keywords to your images on Joomeo. This can be accessed via the “TOOLS” menu or by clicking the “TAG” button at the bottom right of your Joomeo window.

With the keyword manager open, here’s how to create a new keyword and add it to a photo or a video, or to all the photos and videos in an album in one go.

CREATING A KEYWORD AND ADDING IT TO A PHOTO OR AN ALBUM

Drag a keyword onto an album to add it to every file contained in the album.
Keywords added in this way will not be attached to the album but to the individual files themselves. This means they will also be attached to any other instances of the same image(s) contained in other albums.

IMPORTANT: Keywords added to files in Joomeo are not added to the source file itself. They will not appear in the IPTC data of the photos and videos you retrieve from your Joomeo space.

ACCESS ALL A FILE’S KEYWORDS VIA ITS PROPERTIES PANEL

The properties panel displays all the information associated with the selected file.

- In the heading you will find the filename of your photo, its weight in byte and the preview of the photo.

- General allows you set a note to your photo (useful when you search in your photos), indicate the shooting date, the uploading date and who has uploaded the photo into your space (you or the name of a contact).

- Legend lets you view and edit the photo caption.

- Keywords lets you view and delete keywords of the photo.

- EXIF allows you access to a EXIF data set of the photo.

We have also used this opportunity to include some other small improvements, which we'll talk about later.

Let's focus on our topic of the day: how to share your photo books with your contacts.

A new interface for new features

	you'll notice that all the albums for which you have created photo books display an extra little icon at the end of the line, as in this image
	by clicking on an album accompanied by this icon, you will see a new column to the right of your grid of images … it all happens in this column!
	This column allows you to launch a view of your photo book in one click.
	You can also edit your photo book, duplicate it or simply delete it. Note that when you duplicate your photo book, you add a new album to your media library containing all the photos used in the book.
	The main information regarding your photo book (format, paper, type of cover, number of pages and unit price) are immediately visible and and you can place your order directly from this column.
	Sharing with your contacts is managed from this column ! In 2 clicks, you can choose whether or not you authorize your contacts to see your photo book and order it. Of course, this authorization concerns only those contacts with whom you have shared the photo book album.

IMPORTANT: You can still access all your photo books directly by the photo book manager, which is accessible via the "PHOTO LAB / MY PHOTO BOOKS" menu.

2 additional new features for your comfort

Bigger icons to make the media library easier to read The most observant will have noticed that we have significantly enlarged the icons in the media library! Your albums and your folders are much more readable, for greatly improved comfort.

Improvement of the system of deletion of folders and their contents With the same aim of offering improved ergonomics and comfort, it is now possible to delete a folder and all its contents in a single stroke!

A gain of precious time when sorting your media library.
