Here comes the second beta for Piwigo 15.

A) Changes

The search in gallery gets new filters: by ratings, by file size, by dimensions ratio, by height and by width.


New search filter by height (in pixels).


New search filter by dimensions ratio. Find portraits, squares or landscapes in a single click.


The album selector, introduced in version 13 receives important enhancements. First one: it always displays the hierarchy of albums. No need to perform a search.



Second addition on the album selector: ability to create a new album wherever you need.

About anonymous statistics sent to piwigo.org, we have already learned interesting things with beta1. In beta2, we add:

* "last added photo" datetime
* number of photos added by synchronization (and when was the last time). We want to know if this method to add photos is still used.
* list of file extensions hosted. We want to know if Piwigo is used for JPEG only, if HEIC are uploaded, if videos are often hosted...

Everything remains perfectly anonymous. piwigo.org does not receive data like the name of your files. Just the extension.

B) Improvements

Much smarter way to synchronize metadata from the batch manager. Instead of asking to synchronize blocks of 500 photos in parallel, we do it in a sequence, first block of 500, then second block and so on.
