How about adding a autocomplete taxonomy field for browsing images by tags. I would like to be able to select the vocabulary from the admin menu. It should work as a tag taxonomy does, ie. you get a field which autocompletes, and which accepts several tags with a comma.

Good idea. Probably not a priority feature at the moment, but I will certainly think about it in the future.

With a huge amount of images it can be priority to quick access any previously uploaded image. Here comes the filter, but it could do more than does now. Like filter by tags, date, etc.

I've been thinking about this and decided that the important thing to filter is my own and my group (in OG), my role and all pepoples images, and then by date.

But, here is a radically different approach to this, how about letting the filtering be decided by a view? Then people can a) create their specific needs view, and b) contribute the views to the project. Then each view contributed could be a submodule with its own dependencies.

Huh, pretty cool idea, if I might say so myself ;). I wonder how hard it would be to create a view and add some javascript to pop it up and to pop it down again. And then for other node types...

Thinking thinking...

This is already implemented in Image Assist (v2), so you probably wanna check that out :)

And in http://drupal.org/project/easylink for general nodes.

Filtering by tags is the only missing feature in this module, as far as I'm concerned. Looking forward to it.

I'll probably move to using a view, but don't expect it for a few weeks.

Thought I would keep everyone updated. I've made a rough working copy with Views. However I think the way Views 2 handles the AJAX requests to be a bit butt ugly. So I'm going to try and re-write it so it fits in more with Image Browsers UI. Not sure how difficult that is going to be just yet. The end result should look something similar to the current interface but with the option to add your own exposed filters through Views UI, adding a lot more flexibility :)

Another update. Got nearly everything working now, and should have a release using Views by the end of the weekend. Benefits? Almost infinite flexibility as you can expose as many filters as you want. Also opens up other possibilities for the future like displays in list format instead of thumbnails.

Fixed in latest release coming out tomorrow. You can now expose as many filters in the ib_browser default view as you want!

The default view based on the file table does not have Taxonomy filters available to it. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Re-opening this for 2.x-dev due to post #12 as I agree, I see no way to add an exposed filter for taxonomy (only user and file).

The inability to filter by taxonomy (or any other node field) has been my greatest frustration with this module. All my images are in nodes and they are hundreds. Browsing page-by-page is not an option.

I did some experimentation and built a view based on the Node table. Then I added a relationship to the File table and got the file ID. At this point both the default view and my view show identical results (in a HTML list). But when I set the style to Image Browser Thumbs, the thumbs just don't show up. I raised an issue with my view export and a screenshot here:
