I have alot of images that are similar to each other. I have over 700 images in my animal category, so browsing the thumbnails is getting cumbersome. I am thinking of leaving just the best few out there of each animal and making the rest inactive.
However, I would like the 'More like this' mod I created to find both active and inactive images. That way, if someone is interested in a particular type of image, but isn't seeing the angle or cropping they prefer, I could show them more choices.
Are the inactive images in all the databases and search indexes? I am thinking there might just be a check in the thumbnail displays that makes sure it is active. If this is the case, I could just tweak that code to display inactive images in certain cases. I am the only one who can add images, so I don't have to worry about any images being inactive out there that I don't know about.
My other thought was to put them all in a special folder that I hard-code to hide on the main categories page. My only concern with this is that it might be confusing when they show up after a search with a category name that isn't seen anywhere else or with no category name if I hard-code it to work that way.
Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.
