Analog Archive is an application that will be used to keep a digital archive of a photographer's analog photography. The application will allow the user to store and view all of their analog photography, categorised by:
- Roll/Pack of Film
- Type of Film
- Film ISO
- Camera Used
- Film Manufacturer
- Film Expiry Date
- Film Developing Date
- Film Developing Location
This project is of interest to me personally due to the fact that I am very interested in film photography, and have been taking film photos for over 1 year. Unfortunately, there is currently no solution for digitally archiving all of your photos, while also documenting the properties of the film that the photo is taken with. This application will provide useful functionality to my workflow when editing photos, and organizing my archives of previous photos.
- As a user, I want to be able to categorise all of my analog photography by the type of film used.
- As a user, I want to be able to add a roll/pack of film to my current archive.
- As a user, I want to be able to select a roll of film and view the photos from that roll.
- As a user, I want to be able to remove a roll/pack of film from my archive.
- As a user, I want to be able to view a list of my rolls/packs of film, both complete list and filtered.
- As a user, I want to be able to save my list of cameras and film
- As a user, I want to be able to load a list of cameras and film from file
- This program has made appropriate use of a Map in the EditPanel class, which is contained in the ui package
If I had more time to work on my project, I would try to reduce the coupling in the program. This great amount of coupling can be seen between the classes in the panel package, and FilmCollection or CameraCollection. This makes the program really fragile, because if a method in the AnalogArchiveApp is changed, then it can break a lot of code in the panels package.
