Fast, medium and slow films can be developed simultaneously without adjustment in developing time.</blockquote> <p>I wasn’t aware Diafine had these properties.</p> <p>I often wait until I have two films to develop as I own two tanks so can “batch them up” so to speak.</p> <p>But as I often shoot different films at different speeds I can’t put two rolls in one tank as the developer times differ.</p> <p>Not so with Diafine it seems.</p> <p><a href="http://filmdev.org/developer/show/1033">Diafine recipes on FilmDev</a>.</p>http://blog.filmdev.org/post/538130980http://blog.filmdev.org/post/538130980Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:08:11 +0100<p>FilmDev has a new release with the following changes.<br/><br/> You can now filter search results by film and/or developer.<br/> This makes it much easier to compare film/developer combinations.<br/><br/> Although displaying of photos for a recipe has always been limited to 30 per page (due to the Flickr API terms of service) it’s now possible to view further pages of photos.<br/> The pagination links appear on a recipe page (assuming it has more than 30 photos) after 1-2 seconds when viewing a recipe.<br/><br/> Film/developer pages now have filtering and pagination.<br/> User pages now have pagination of recipes.<br/><br/> There are RSS feeds for users/films and developers.<br/> These should be detected by your browser on the relevant page (I’ll add regular HTML links soon!).<br/><br/> Fixed a bug where tagging couldn’t find new photos once you’d already tagged 30 photos.</p> <p>Oh, and in the middle of me launching the changes, <a href="http://filmdev.org/recipe/show/5766">recipe number 700</a> was added to the site.</p>http://blog.filmdev.org/post/481598370http://blog.filmdev.org/post/481598370Mon, 29 Mar 2010 13:52:00 +0100release<p>FilmDev has a new release today with lots of changes.<br/><br/>Significantly improved searching.<br/>Search results are ordered by relevance and higher ranking is given to film and developer names (as opposed to just the name being mentioned in the notes).<br/><br/>Tagging photos works with Javascript disabled (but is slicker with it enabled).<br/>Imports still require Javascript but I will fix that soon.<br/><br/>Some stuff around adding recipes.<br/>There is now a checkbox for stand development when adding a recipe.  You can search for them by typing “stand” in the search box.<br/>You can specify development time seconds in 5 second intervals.<br/><br/>Removed some menu options, they are all at the bottom of each page.</p> <p><a href="http://filmdev.org/">http://filmdev.org/</a></p>http://blog.filmdev.org/post/409077528http://blog.filmdev.org/post/409077528Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:54:00 +0000release<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kv228qFxAc1qz9j6b.png"/></p> <p><a href="http://filmdev.org">FilmDev</a> has now hit 500 recipes!</p> <p>And by the time I got around to doing a screenshot for this post another 22 had been added.</p> <p>This is all great news.</p> <p>I was never really sure if the site would take off so seeing people join and add recipes on an almost daily basis please me greatly.</p> <p>Since I did the new version of the site in November 2008 it’s been a pretty consistent upwards growth.</p> <p>As we get more and more data added to the site the next steps are for me to think about better ways to allow people to compare results for different developer combinations.</p>http://blog.filmdev.org/post/295031231http://blog.filmdev.org/post/295031231Tue, 22 Dec 2009 13:22:37 +0000stats<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksqxy9aRna1qapxddo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I created a “<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/boncey/galleries/72157622617924849">Best of FilmDev</a>” gallery on Flickr to celebrate some of the great photos I have seen on <a href="http://filmdev.org/">FilmDev</a>.</p> <p>I’ve been really impressed by the photos people have been adding so wanted to bring them together in one place.</p> <p>Long may it continue!</p> <p>(photo via <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/1picaday">one pic a day</a>)</p>http://blog.filmdev.org/post/236042780http://blog.filmdev.org/post/236042780Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:03:45 +0000<p>I’ve created a blog on <a href="http://tumblr.com">Tumblr</a> for occasional posts about FilmDev.</p> <p>It’s mainly for announcing features or developments related to the site.</p> <p>For support issues or questions please ask on the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/filmdev/">Flickr group</a>.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/filmdev/"><br/></a></p>http://blog.filmdev.org/post/234288006http://blog.filmdev.org/post/234288006Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:28:00 +0000
