This is just my token into the discussion. Then it needs maintenance of a scale that I feel may be too much. It is when facts and scripts and twists and such are included that it gets messy. I believe such a doc could be of value as long as it mainly contains pointers. Also I believe it could be on enough high level to cope with PSU updates.Īnd (if it would be of interest) the scope could also gradually be increased to include further user related advice / suggestions that is of value. To get something out of the door it has to be manageable and I feel this is. Maybe it could also be a place where Mantis is briefly explained.
I would see this as a Reference to sources of information, a pointer to where to look things up. I am not aware of any place or document that makes a plain listing of all these sources. > Sometimes you get info when you hover the pointer over an area Information about PSU is availale in a number of places, for example:

I doubt a true and technical Manual will stay up with the evolvement of PSU so I would like to raise an alternative suggestion. Regarding Mike's workbook: I haven't had the pleasure of reading it, but I am pretty sure something similar for Photo Supreme would be more than welcome (and possibly even more useful than a complete manual). (I'm talking about the manuals, not about the hovering hints in the interface - I expect those to always be accurate and up-to-date.) But I do realize that is just my own opinion, based on my own learning style, and I may well be in minority here. Frankly, if I were to (slightly) tip the balance, I would likely vote for (slightly) faster development, even if that meant the official docs would have a bit of catch-up to do.

It is true that no complete manual exists (and that may be a deterrent especially for new DAM users), but the hovering hints + quick manuals + crowd knowledge + Hert's feedback in Mantis+forum work well for me, overall. at the other extreme, the product would be extremely agile (new features and improvements would be considered and implemented very fast, even when they may occasionally be disruptive), but the official documentation would probably be minimal and/or not up-to-date, with the self-explanatory aspects of the interface + crowd knowledge sharing playing the essential roles.įrom a user perspective, I personally consider the current state of PSU (product quality x doc quality x product cost x release time) to be well balanced. (The time between major versions would be longer, any incremental updates would be very carefully considered and triple-checked against all aspects of documentation, tutorials etc.) at one extreme, PSU would have top-notch (that is: clear, accurate, comprehenisve) documentation, but (given its intrinsic complexity) it would evolve quite slowly. Realistically, as much as we'd often like to have our cake and eat it too, I believe there is a choice to be made (by the IDimager staff, based on their own analysis and strategy, which may obviously include the user feedback) whereabout to place the product in the Feature Complexity x Doc Quality x Release Time x FR Responsiveness x Cost equation: (This is not an official statement, just mypersonal opinion based on what was happening on that subject in the previous years) I have to conclude there is a need of a 'complete' manual, but I doubt there will ever be. While the cataloging aspects still are valid, it was written and based on the discontinued IDimager V5 (two years later). If i rememberer correctly, the creation took more than one year. Strictly not a manual but an impressive guide for cataloging and managing your digital photographs. In 2010, Mike Buckley created his 'IDimager version 5 Workbook', a private initiative with the support of Hert and the users of that area. It never reached the state of completeness and the project is largely lost and most information is now outdated. And even it is user-based support forum, Hert is actively monitoring the treads that need attention.Īround 2008, there was a IDimager-Wiki where users contributed information on some aspects. There is a reason why the forum is alive and very active: It is the number one source to get up-to-date information.

This is one of the weakest point of Photo Supreme and its predecessors, the documentation can holdup with the rapid development of the software it-selves. A physical printed manual will be outdated even before it is created. Creating such a manual will need resources that currently not available. I don't think a 'substantial' manual will be available in the near future for Photo Supreme.
