I uploaded a photo that was approved (thank you admins) Tanzanite© This image has a bunch of child photos of minerals you can only see close up. For example, one is fluorite Fluorite on tanzanite© and Fluorite on stilbite© But when I go to the Merelani page and look at fluorite or stilbite, it shows no pictures. Yet when I look through the tanzanite photos I find the piece shown above. Also, when I flip through the tanzanite photos, I do see the latter 2 photos above. Is there some rule about uploading child photos and how one can navigate to them that I was not aware of?

I believe this is the exception ;-)]]> Debbie Woolf General Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:22:35 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,6,259121,259204#msg-259204 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,6,259121,259204#msg-259204 David Von Bargen General Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:50:11 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,6,259121,259200#msg-259200 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,6,259121,259200#msg-259200
The following structure does NOT yield a photo for fluorite and a separate photo for stilbite on the locality page, it only yields a tanzanite photo
Photo 1- Tanzanite
+--- Photo 2- Fluorite
+--- Photo 3- Stilbite
+--- Photo 4 - Chabazite


The following might (will?) be flagged as duplicate photos and depending on the admin may or may not get fixed:
Photo 1 - Tanzanite
+--- Photo 2 - Fluorite
+--- Photo 3 - Stilbite
+--- Photo 4 - Chabazite
Photo 2 (dup) - Fluorite
Photo 3 (dup) - Stilbite


The following would accomplish the goal of being able to see that there is a fluorite and stilbite photo available from Merelani and would avoid complications of duplicate photo flagging, but would lose the connection that these are all the same piece:

Photo 1 - Tanzanite
Photo 2 - Fluorite
Photo 3 - Stilbite
Photo 4 - Chabazite

Do I have it right now?

The duplicate photo's are these where the picture of the specimen is the same or nearly the same. It makes no sense to show 2 or 3 times the same specimen in the same position.
If you have a specimen with 5 different minerals on it, and you photograph each mineral separately, it can be uploaded as parent photo's, like Debbie said. Nobody will fall over that, because the minerals are NOT the same in each picture.

I hope this helps.

Take care and best regards.

Duplicate Photo Complaints


Thanks

As I see it the fluorite & stilbite photo's can be re-uploaded as individual parents. You could cross-ref the photo's in the description, linking them.

I hope that answers 1&2 as for 3 I don't see the problem ?]]> Debbie Woolf General Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:20:11 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,6,259121,259186#msg-259186 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,6,259121,259186#msg-259186
How can I
1) have fluorite AND stilbite show up with pictures on the locality page
2) keep a record that all these photos come from the same piece
3) not have duplicate photos in mindat which will be flagged in separate discussions

Thanks

Bob, I think you can split them up if you want to make a different mineral a parent just need to uploaded it again under the new mineral name.

Ray thanks. The child photo refers to the mindat term wherein you have a photo and then other views of the same piece. I believe the intent is that if you have one piece with multiple minerals you want to photograph individually, you are supposed to have them all under 1 main photo. Right???
