Watching comments in photo albums

Watching comments in photo albums

Hallo!
There's a little "uncomfortableness" in watching comments in your own album. When someone adds a comment, album' owner gets a notification with a link to the whole album. Therefore he has to look through all the photos, and if there's more than five comments already, that's very boring...

Could notification link point directly to commented photo?

Thanks

And pls comment more in my albums.

+1 (it can get confusing on large albums)

Yup, needed feature.

+1. The monkeys tease us, giving us the screenshot of the picture, but not the link.

Not to hijack the thread, but it doesn't look accidental. The same happens for watched blog entries (all link to /blog) and albums. A quick fix is needed there, too.

Yes, but in watched blogs and albums new entries are always on top, so it's not too hard to find what you want (-:E

upp

Please, Ole! (-:E

We originally wanted the feature to work the way you suggest, but for technical reasons it wasn't made that way.

There's no quick fix. A complete rewrite would be neccessary. Unfortunately Ole has left Opera, so this will probably be delayed..

I've been working on a /news bugs workaround, and I'd appreciate it if you could test itmyopera-watch.0.2.js

Basically, the user Javascript does the manual lookup of the thumbnail itself: it loads the album where the comment has been made (only first 500 pictures , then compares the thumbnail shown on the Watch page with every thumbnail in the album to get the link to the picture.
Other fixes regard the spurious my.opera.com/~/blog and my.opera.com/community/ links or those missing altogether.

Known Issues:

• There is a bug/feature in MyOpera, whereby if you're accessing your own album, it marks all the comments for that album as read.
  So, if you don't read all the comments to the photos the first time they appear in your Watch, you'll miss them on reloading /news (the userscript would have already looked at the album)
  
• There is a bug/feature in MyOpera, whereby if a single user leaves multiple comments on several pictures from one of your albums, you only get notified of her last such comment.
  So, that is where the link will take you now.

I see... It's really a pity Ole has left.
So we've just to keep waiting for fix

Thanks, when I have a little bit more time I'll be glad to test your script, but the very sorrowful thing is that UserJS can't fix links in sidebar... )-:E

What problem exactly are you refering to ?

If I got you right, your UserJS changes links to albums into link to fotos, doesn't it? As UserJS don't work in sidebar pages, your one cannot help with solving problem of the topic if one uses special sidebar of notification page.

Yes, the script's main point is the direct linking to photos. If by "sidebar pages" you mean the side-panel (http://my.opera.com/<username>/panels/mynews.dml) then yeah, I have no idea of its UserJS support, nor how to control its reloading. The latter issue becomes very important in connection with the first known issue I mentioned: one load of the news, and the albums get marked as read.

I find the Watch page easier to control than the side-panel. On the other side (get it?), the side-panel is a little more usable, with its small size and content folding on click, but not without its problems (frequently I got news items opening in the panel, instead of a new tab).

Anyway, I'll try to incorporate a few more improvements in the UserJS (e.g. putting comments to threads I participated in before new blog posts notifications). I am looking forward for the rewrite, fixes and improvements (e.g I would consider more important news my friend's forum posts than watched albums) but that's for another thread altogether.

As far as I know, it's impossible, because Opera doesn't let UserJS work in sidebars/panes \-:E

Thank you for your improving work!

I have the same problem...

I agree! I have the same problems!

C'mon, dudes and dudesses! Let's lift this topic up! (-%E

Bizarrely, the comment link for photos appears to link directly to the correct photo from Mini 4 Beta 2 but not for anything else.

I cannot confirm that. It seems rather impossible, as the Mini (actually the same Kestrel we use on desktop) just renders the page, and the page only has links like http://my.opera.com/USER/albums/show.dml?id=999999

I agree it sounds ludicrous, but it has happened. Sadly i didn't look what the link was before i followed it. If it happens again i'll make a note.

*cough*BUMP*cough*

Me too.

A bug since October 2005, whit no date to be fixed!



It seems like a IE bug! Takes a long time to fix

Just to clarify, does this bug/issue affect only photos on your own blog? A photo I commented on 5 months ago on someone else's blog just appeared on my Watches and the link took me directly to the right photo.

Indeed, replies to your comments in others' albums are tracked correctly. This issue concerns comments in your albums etc.
In case it hadn't been fixed yet, of course (-:E

I agree. When I am on my phone, it takes ages to find the right picture.

This seems to no longer be the case - comments on any photo album (not just mine) now only link to the album itself, not the photo. This is a teensy bit irksome

Hope there's some work going to be done about comments in albums (-;E

+1.

Please, I would love to hear that this will be corrected! I'm missing comments all over the place, particularly on my 365 album

I'm member of 365 project, some albums have 365 photos, it´s really dificult to find comments in big albuns.

yeah! it's a very big problem for me! please do something!

+1

With new comments in old albuns, full of comments, it's quite difficult to find the new one

Real problem, expecially when someone receive many comments in the same album.

Call Ole for an extra work.

I hope will be fixed as soon as soon (not as possible).

Ciao, Igor

Yes, I agree ... please do something ...

Agree:)

The problem is, Opera needs fresh minds to help resolve
the issue at hand, We need a quick fix, pronto...

I agree!

Why are everybody so lazy? Whats the big deal, we have starving children in the world, and you are complaining about you cant find the new comments right away?? Give me a break!

Yes!!

With all respect to those children, our lurking through comments won't feed them. As for me, I'm glad you're quite happy without bug/feature in question, but we need it.
