It's been a long time coming..  A feature that has been requested many times that I remember...  The ability to attach many photos to an item.. a "PhotoSet".

First came the ability to group items together in what is known as an Item Set.  I think this proved a little awkward when you simply want to submit a batch of photos.  So, I think there is room for both features here.  When there are many items on the same topic, submitted by different people, you can group these items into a set.  But in other instances, you want to submit say, a bunch of photos that pertain to a particular topic, the PhotoSet feature should take care of this.

For example, let's say you receive some chain letter email with a ton of attached photos.  They're pretty good, and worth /not/ deleting.  To submit this to bordom, you can now select "PhotoSet" as a type of submission.  From here, you can add the photos one at a time into an upload queue, which will be uploaded at the time you submit the item, all in one fell swoop.

The item's image will default to the last photo in the upload queue.  This can, of course be overridden at any time by changing the item's image (from the submit preparation page, the submission queue, or from IRC)

In addition to displaying the photos from a set, the photos themselves are presented in "lightbox" fashion.   I think that just about covers it.  Enjoy the new feature.

As always, more to come.
