These are some of my ideas about improving FS Memoires
These are my comments that I will post
1) SORTIMG/FILTERING
One of the most long standing requests related to FS memories is being able to sort items that are hooked to a FamilyTree Profile.
I think that makes sense – but I think many people miss the point that even if you can do that – you may not have control over setting titles, dates and other sort parameters on items created by other peopled – so I get the sense even with this feature – people will still get frustrated that item cant be put in the order they want or have control over. I think this is now available in new person page.
2) 1000 item Limit on album
The albums in FS Memories currently have a displayable limit of 1,000 items. I really wish that would be bumped to like 4,000 or so and then prevent people from loading more than that into a single album (there is no point in adding it if you cant see it in the album).
To me this is a blatant flaw that needs fixing.
3) FIND UNTAGGED ITEMS on Memories FIND screen
I wish there was a way to look for items in the general Memories collection (not just my own – but the general FIND option to all memories) where by I could set an option to look for items that are not person-tagged. This option is only currently available when searching my own items and not other people’s.
I also wish I could find items created/added after a selectable date,
4) What is the point of Archive???
Archive – If someone can give me some good practical use of the “archive option” that cannot be handled simply by creating an album(s) – then maybe I’ll agree to keep it – but I personally don’t see the need for the “Archiving” option. I wonder if it was created even before “albums” were created. But with albums I don’t see the need for any special category of “archived”
5) DEFAULT CREATE Certain TOPIC TAGS
I wish that Familysearch would default certain basic TOPIC TAGS
Based on some simple rules (that doesn’t require expensive AI technology) things like Surname Topic Tags – based on who its linked to. Location Topic Tags by the places of births/deaths people linked to It. etc
6) ITEM DELETION
Allow deletion of items -- even when accessing via an album -- and not just when you are selecting an item from the gallery.
