+Roadmap for Dimbola
+===================
+
+
+Dimbola 1.0
+-----------
+
+This is the feature set that 1.0 will hopefully have.
+Since Dimbola is a hobby project, changes are always
+possible.
+
+* Copy photos from camera/memory card to hard disk. (dimbola-copy is
+ a command line program that most of this, but needs to be
+ integrated into the GUI.)
+ * Optionally rename files.
+ * Optionally copy files to two locations.
+ * Also add to currently open database.
+* Add photos to database from hard disk.
+ * Individual, hand-picked images. **Done.**
+ * Recursively for a whole directory tree.
+* Tag, rate, rotate photos efficiently.
+ * Tags can be created. **Done.**
+ * Tags can be arranged in a hierarchy. **Done.**
+ * One or more tags can be added to one or more photos in one operation.
+ * Tags can be added to photos when they're exported.
+ * Tag lists can be exported and imported (merged to current list),
+ so people can share them.
+ * Tags have flags for controlling export to photos, sharing.
+* Import and display EXIF fields.
+ * Display all fields.
+ * Display user-specified selection of fields.
+ * Display a basic, pre-configured set of fields. **Done.**
+* Display/edit all IPTC fields.
+ * Display all fields.
+ * Display user-specified selection of fields.
+ * Display a basic, pre-configured set of fields.
+* Search photos based on various criteria.
+ * Which folder they're in. **Done.**
+ * Tags they have. **Done.**
+ * Rating. **Done.**
+ * EXIF fields.
+ * IPTC fields.
+ * Searches can be saved.
+ * Search results (saved or not) are updated automatically when something changes.
+* Virtual folders ("collections" in Lightroom).
+* View photos in another window, which can be made fullscreen (perhaps on
+ a second monitor). **Done.**
+* Export original or JPEG versions of photos. **Done.**
+ * Exported files contain or are accompanied by metadata.
+* Generate a simple HTML gallery from selected photos.
+* Databases can be synchronized between different computers.
+ * For example, between desktop and laptop (sync everything), or
+ two collaborating people (sync just some stuff).
+ * Two-way synchronization: changes to either end will be combined to
+ the other, without overwriting the other's changes.
+* Everything that sensibly can, can be done with only mouse or keyboard.
