pre word¶
=========

While reviewing the late changes, I found some things, I would like
to be considered.

edit\_media() references attachments.¶
--------------------------------------

``edit_media()`` in ``edit/view.py`` references some attachment
stuff. Is that still valid?

delete\_media\_files() might use itervalues¶
--------------------------------------------

::

    - for handle, listpath in media['media_files'].items():
    + for listpath in media['media_files'].itervalues():

import export code: Use the init/ code¶
---------------------------------------

::

    - setup_global_and_app_config(args.conf_file)
    + global_config, app_config = setup_global_and_app_config(args.conf_file)
    ...
    - config, validation_result = read_mediagoblin_config(args.conf_file)
    - connection, db = setup_connection_and_db_from_config(
    -   config['mediagoblin'], use_pymongo=True)
    + connection, db = setup_connection_and_db_from_config(app_config, use_pymongo=True)

final word¶
===========

These are UNTESTED suggestions to consider. They might break
everything, be completely wrong, or just useful. Take your one and
comment on it. Or create branch and add it here for merging.

Attached is a screenshot of the current Delete confirmation page.
This is the page you see after clicking "Delete" on a media page.

The whole thing is kind of a stop gap solution, but for now I'd
like to suggest these changes:


-  "Save changes" on the input button should be changed because
   you're not saving changes. Something like "Delete permanently",
   which describes the action and mentions its severity.
-  Remove the "If you choose yes, the media entry will be deleted
   permanently." and "Confirm" text.
-  Replace the two radio buttons by a single checkbox that says "I
   am sure I want to delete this"
-  Add a thumbnail like we do on the Edit page. This changes the
   process to:
-  User clicks Delete
-  User arrives at Delete confirmation page
-  User is asked if he is sure and has to check the box to say
   "Yes, I am sure"
-  User finishes the process by clicking "Delete permanently"

What does the glorious future hold for sucking the life out of
existing centralized saas and then breathing it into free
alternatives? Okay, specifically, how do we handle this use case:


-  Hey, I just heard about MediaGoblin, and I'd like to try it out,
   but all my stuff is in Flickr. What's the easiest way to move
   things over?
