2025-10-02	SHARING! We have added an option to the sharing (aka permissions) - sharing to specific users! The new option in the "permissions" area is named "Specific..."; When clicked, a list of people to share with are shown just below the "Specific..." choice. You may choose one or more people to share the picture with and if "Specific..." is your only choice then they will only be the people to see it. Here are a few uses for this new sharing feature: Approved share: When your kid want to approve a picture of their kids before it is shared with anyone ... only share the picture with your kid ... and "Allow Sharing". If they want to show the picture to their friends and family then they can share it Questionable share: When the picture could be contraversal or just a questionable share then only share it when the people you think should approve it ... and "Allow Sharing" If they want to share it then they can share it with their people. Note: When clicking the share icon the default permissions of that re-share are none. This is intentional since we don't want the app to make any decisions for you.
2025-10-02	TAGS! We have added the ability to "tag" a picture (or video) with names, places, or any phrase you like. Tags are powerful and completely under your control - only you can see your tags. Just above each picture is a "Tags" link that, when click, will allow you to specify which tags should be associated with the picture/video. Once a tag is linked to a picture it shows as a little "pill" next to the "Tags" label. FILTERS! We have added the ability to filter the pictures being shown based on your choice of "people" and "tags". At the very top of the "Pics" tab is a link labeled "Filters..." that, when clicked, will show the filter controls. These controls show the people and tags of the images that follow. The "People" filter allows you to select pictures based on who uploaded them. This is an "OR" filter which means that any person selected will have their pictures shown. The "Tags" filter allows you to select pictures based on the tags of that picture. This is an "AND" filter which means that each tag selected in the filter must be present on the picture for the picture to show.
