GeneralPhotos with child photos
26th Apr 2012 00:23 UTCRobert Simonoff
This image has a bunch of child photos of minerals you can only see close up. For example, one is fluorite
and
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?
Thanks for any help you can provide

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???

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.

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

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 ?

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.
Paul.

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?
