I thought perhaps my previous post was unclear, so I decided to give a short, easy example of what I've been looking for. Think "mailing list digest" or "weekly activity summary" to get an idea, and imagine getting an email each week from the Family Gallery that looks something like this:
This week in GalleryXYZ
John Smith
1 new Album: Birthday Pictures
2 new Photos added to: My House
1 new Photo added to: The Kids
Sally Green
2 new Albums: New Car, Jimmy's School Play
4 new Photos added to: Construction Next Door
Of course, the idea would be to have the option to custimize what your email looked like, how often a digest was sent, thumbnails could be sent, titles and captions of added photos, whatever sort of 'digest' type information is relevent.
I certainly understand that there may well just not be any interest in such an idea, and that most users of Coppermine may have no use for such a feature. Please take this post mearly as a clarification of what I was presenting. I would not wish anyone to take this second post as an insistance to this request -- you have an excellent piece of software and this is nothing more than a gentle presentation of an idea.
