Modify categories/description afterwards

[nicolas-raoul]

Scenario:

1. I upload a picture
2. I write description/categories
3. After a few days, I realize that the description and categories are partly erroneous
4. I click on the picture in the gallery, and can see the description and categories
5. NEW: I can fix my errors

I actually have this need quite often.

Sounds like a great idea to me. I wonder how feasible this is from a technical standpoint?

[nicolas-raoul]

Hopfully the title/description activity and the categories activity can be reused (with current data retrieved from Commons and preset)?

[misaochan]

The technical issue I was wondering about is that I think modifying a description is different from submitting a new image with a description (which is what the current title/desc activity does). Categories are unlikely to be an issue since the app handles them via a modification to the original upload anyway (although I'm still not sure exactly how the modification works).

Great, I too was thinking about this.
I would love to work on this; I am done with previous tasks. I'll be coming back here to ask you guys for guidance/help and updates :-)
A very basic Design just to demonstrate:

Also, should editing Title should be allowed?

[nicolas-raoul]

@hismaeel Thanks a lot, I will really use this feature a lot after you implement it, I need it very often.

I suggest skipping Title for now, because normal users can not do it, and might be replaced with "caption" when Structured Commons comes. More at
