<p>It is possible to create new categories - that are alternatives
to <b>People</b>, <b>Places</b>, and <b>Events</b> - in the annotation
dialog. 
To add new categories or remove existing ones, go to the <b>Settings-&gt;Configure KPhotoAlbum</b> dialog, and choose
<b>Categories</b> in the side bar.</p>

<p>When generating HTML you must specify a base directory for
the images. Here you can specify any <a
href="help:/kioslave/index.html">protocol</a> supported by KDE, like ftp or
fish.</p>
<p>Examples:
<ul>
  <li> ftp://someserver/my-upload-area/images (upload using FTP)
  <li> fish://someserver/home/foo/images (upload using ssh)
  <li> smb://someserver/c/images (upload to a Windows share)
</ul>

<p>When you bring new images to your collection, you might not have time
right away to categorize them (i.e. specify People, Places,
etc.). Therefore, you might later want to find those images which have not
yet been categorized. Here is what I do.</p> 
<p>I use the <b>keyword</b> <b>OK</b>, which I set on images, once I've
categorized them (i.e. just like you may have a keyword for <b>Summer
Party</b> or <b>Interrail trip 1990</b>, you now have a keyword
<b>OK</b>). To find uncategorized images, I choose the
<b>Search</b> item from the browser, and in the keywords field, I
type <b>!OK</b>. This will find all images which do <b>not</b> have the
<b>OK</b> item.

<p>You can reorder images on your hard disk after having loaded them into
KPhotoAlbum - KPhotoAlbum will still remember them, as it calculates checksums for
the images.</p>

<p>It's possible to associate images with categories. That way when browsing, say people, you
may get a small icon for each person with e.g. the person's face.</p>
<p>To specify an icon for a person, load the person in the viewer, zoom to
the part which you want to make into an icon, and choose
<b>Show Category Editor</b>. This will bring up a dialog where you can
find the person, and set the image.

<p>You may close the image annotation dialog (the one where you specify
people, places, etc. for the images) by pressing Ctrl+Enter.

<p>You may reorder images by dragging and dropping one image onto
another. If you drop it on the left edge, it will end up in front of
the other, if you drop it on the right edge it will be inserted behind.</p>

On the thumbnail view, you can resize the grid to your needs just by clicking 
the middle mouse button and dragging around. On most systems you can emulate 
the middle mouse button by left and right clicking at the same time.
