Manage your Snaps

Hello!

There's a new feature that allows you some more detailed control over publishing of the snaps you take in the game. Snaps can be "published" or not. Snaps you've published will be:

• visible in a box on your profile page @ www.glitch.com/profiles/me/
• collected together onto your new Snaps page @ www.glitch.com/snaps/me/
• [future] shown in search results for things like "all snaps taken in this location", "all snaps of this player", "all snaps which include this chicken", etc.

You can switch published snaps back to an "unlisted" state at any time and they will stop showing up in those places (but they will still be available to anyone with the URL of the snap).

So, to recap: if you publish something in your status, there will be a collection of all those accessible to others on your profile.

You can view them from these handy pages:

This one to manage all your snaps:
www.glitch.com/snaps/me/man...

This one manages published snaps:
www.glitch.com/snaps/me/man...

And this one for your unlisted snaps:
www.glitch.com/snaps/me/man...

Enjoy!

    @Kevbob: will there be, in the future, an option to take snaps of our home (interior) and attach to our profile house page?
    That way we can showcase our mad (scientist) deco skills..
    Just putting it out there ;)

  • Thanks Kevbob, You rock :D I particularly love how all the photos are displayed on one page (or as many that can fit I guess) with the Manage button to the side. Glitch keeps getting more and more incredible with each passing day. Goodbye the remaining non-Glitch life :D Too much for this little glitch- High-fiving and photos management- head explodes and cat ears float comically to the ground. *hugs* and cheers all, TS and everyone alike. :D

  • Hen vla Ham: letting you choose snaps of your house/yard/home street for your home street page is indeed the plan. We'll also start using players snaps for the encyclopedia pages for locations in the regular world.

  • excellent!

    Now if there was only a way to somehow get old screenshots into Glitch (while preventing non glitch screenshots from showing up).   I've got a lot of old screenshots from last year.

  • Stoot: ooohh I'm inside your heads!! I can see the future - looks positively awesome sauce!
    Oh and yay! :)
    Posted 7 months ago by Hen vla Ham Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yay! Thanks, that's great!  I'd love it if we could arrange our snaps into sets & tag one day too!

  • Did anyone else think of managing your anger (i.e. how to be more constructive when raging in the forums) when looking at the title? Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I lol-ed when I understood what kevbob meant.

    And... thanks for that update!

  • Cool... but will it allow me to snap into a Slim Jim?
    Posted 7 months ago by Blahtopian Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah!!!! I've been bummed that I go to a friend's page and I couldn't view their snaps! Now Eye can! TYSM
    Posted 7 months ago by Eye Wonder Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh, yes, sets and tags!  Sets!  Tags!

  • I think if we were in Stoot's head it would be "Ooh all these whiny Glitches! Why didn't I just decide to sip margaritas on the beach?!"

    (I kid, I kid. Stoot lobes us.)

  • Don't whine - celebrate the First International Day of the Parting of the Sea of Pigs.

    Today, 5/18/2012 - I'll be throwing a party later today. 

    Celebrating from Oregon, US
    Where you celebrating from?

  • If we can really choose "all snaps which include this chicken," I will be very impressed. And I will start plotting a chicken-renaming strategy immediately.
    Posted 7 months ago by Jennyanydots Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I plan on youthanizing (and raising and youthanizing and raising, etc) a chicken and taking it on a photo-intensive road trip of Ur.

  • "We'll also start using players snaps for the encyclopedia pages for locations in the regular world."

    I wonder if it will be difficult to get a snap into Ur-splore?

  • I just noticed that the letter r is added to the end of the Glitch logo when working with Snaps. Nice touch!

  • Request: can snaps include the text of notes already up onscreen? (When I try this, taking the camera out seems to close the note.)

    I'm thinking of creating a Tumblr called "Urthoughts" (Ur-thoughts \ Your-thoughts) to collect snaps of all the wacky, wild and beautiful notes we Glitchen strew about the world. But currently I'd have to do it with screencaps, which is a bit clunky.

  • Might there be a "next" button or slideshow feature at some point? I'd like to be able to look through all of someone's published snaps (and my own) without having to leave the snap image page. I'm trying to think, there's a website somewhere that has this sort of feature... Hmmm...

  • :) I read that Flickr got started when Stoot and Caterina Fake were creating a snapshot management tool for their previous Game Neverending... perhaps this will lead to the next revolutionary photo/social experience management system that we will all enjoy for years to come?

  • Great!

    I just wish I could publish snapshots without a comment. I can put captions on, but without an initial comment they won't be listed.

  • Love the snaps... How are people getting the long views of their homes (showing all the floors)?
    Posted 7 months ago by sakmet Subscriber! | Permalink
  • zoom out.
    use the minus key.
    Posted 7 months ago by CrashTestPilot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thank you!
    Posted 7 months ago by sakmet Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sprockett — we'll think about that one (probably better to include the text of the note itself, rather just an image of the text; that'd make it more legible and useful).

    Foolbunny: next and previous buttons are coming :)

    Hungry Nerd: that's actually just a pervasive myth … Game Neverending never had any photo features. Flickr was built on the backend of GNE but was conceived of (and implemented) as a totally separate product. But hey, we'd love to get 80m people sharing Glitch snaps ;)

    Liridona: yeah, we didn't quite have time to complete the everything last week. Soon, you won't be asked for any update text when posting a snap … it will just include the snap's caption (if available).

    SequelGuy: API & RSS are coming!

    To whoever it was who asked somewhere else: you will may be able to publish snaps without generating an update in the future ... not sure yet.

  • So, in response to stoot's comment here, I am sharing my new favorite snap as an example of the awesome, new, free home street options   :)

  • After using this feature I love it.  I love having the ability to control what gets sent out for others to see. 

    Very cool!
