Do you have an idea for an awesome feature we should add… or hate the way we’re currently doing something? Share your ideas and suggestions here.
I feel that a simple list of synths over multiple profile pages is not facilitating browsing and managing large numbers of synths. I would like to have file folder functionality, including the possibility to group, sort and select on all sorts of properties. Why not have Live Photosynth Gallery next to Live Photo Gallery. Or blend it together.
I definitely second this as far as wanting to create different groups of synths, whether that be via tagging or some other mechanism. It could be used to group one's own synths or even create albums of favorites, rather than having only one long list of favorites. Basically, think of how people can create pools of different users' photos on flickr or different playlists on YouTube. Photosynth needs parallel functionality.
I feel we need close co-operation between Bing Maps Photosynth and Live teams to really give things a boost. I feel Live Sync will be one of the usefull infrastructure components. Hey fellow synthers, I suggest you post requests to the Live team, just like I did. The current support from Live is a mere Photosynth plug-in option in Live Photo Gallery.
I believe if they could co-operate with Google Earth that would be amazing. Google street Maps street view also would be an amazing way of combining all Synths' together.
just imagine, checking your root on google maps, going to street view, and actually looking inside the building- woudn't that be amazing?
Hey Open-minded, I agree wholeheartedly. Photosynth has a lot of potential to be sort of "Star-Trekie" or maybe like "Enemy of the State".. I'd check out Bing Maps, if I were you. They've essentially made the steps you suggest with their mapping system. In Bing Maps, Photosynth is under 'map apps', as I recall. Click it and then find some photosynths!
Very open-minded indeed to suggest Microsoft to have such a co-operation with Google. Maybe Bing Maps should make Photosynth even more prominent than it is today.
I just started with Photosynth and have already created too many for a simple list. I would love a way to organize my synths.
Help a brotha organize!
@TEPsolar Not great to see that my topic of over a year ago is still current. However, with a little bit of luck we will see some movement after the launch of Windows "blue" in October 2013. I am not happy about it, but I guess Microsoft needs to move its mainstream cloud services and Windows 8 apps forward first.
