[TYPO3-dam] DAM implementation for photo-agency (up to 2 000 000 photos)

[Valery Romanchev]

Hello
I conside to make customization of DAM for a photo-agency.

The most important things to customize:

1) delete unneeded fields (this is important to save space)
now they  have 76000 images  and plan to have 1 000 000 or more

2) make custom  BE module for upload and indexing photos.
Variants of upload + indexing:
- zip file with up to 100 jpg with one csv-file of fields
- indexing of a folder (csv-file can be uploaded separately)
In both variants use IPTC possible (with a customization of fields)

3) customization of origin, thumbs and watermark generation and storage.
(of cource origins will be low-resolution). Each photo will have unic file
name (photo ID).
The best way  is not clear yet.
I plan to use filesystem with some default structure base on the current
year and month (YMM)
/i/601/some-code/
/i/601/other-name/
...
/i/602/else-code/
...
/i/612/more-code/
With possibility to do a custom folders (this is mainly organizational
question).

Where to store tumbs\watermaked :
- in a subfolder of each folder (easy manage/delete, but problems with
Apache config to restrict show original not-watermarked images)
- in other folder with a special structure:
/img/XX/XX/
where XX - is something automaticly generated with normal ditribution.

I am not familiare with DAM yet.
Thank you in advance for any ideas and advices.
