FlashBack - ASP.NET based image sharing application

New article on CodeProject about FlashBack:

Features

Following are the key features

  • Provides access to pictures and video clips, albums and album structure using a web browser.
  • Filter albums based on date posted.
  • Preview images in albums as thumbnails or view each image individually in a slide show. To conserve bandwidth, lower resolution thumbnails and slide images can be generated automatically from your original images.
  • Plays video clips using an embedded player (Windows Media player or Quick Time).
  • Download and upload images/clips to albums.Create and manage albums from a web browser.
  • Search for images based on attributes such as keywords and date created/posted. Search uses Microsoft Indexing Service for background indexing of picture attributes.
  • Administrators can restrict access to albums based on user groups. FlashBack uses an internal user/group structure that is independent from Windows users and groups.
  • E-mail notifications can be sent to selected users notifying them when new pictures are available.

Targeted for Internet Explorer, but a limited version can be used with any browser. There is also some limited support for small screen browsers such as pocket Internet Explorer used in Windows CE/ Pocket PC operating systems.

FlashBack has built-in web based administration tool for:

  • Managing users, groups and access to folders
  • Monitoring user activity
  • Monitoring application health
