## Description

Phototools replaces the default activity widget on the dashboard by three separate
widgets with thumbnails.
 It’s mend to use with the other « phototools » plugins
like geo2wp, exifwidget etc. The « published recent » and « publishing soon » also
have links too view the post and to the edit screen. The « Recent comments » shows
the thumbnail of the parent post. the number of items in the list is settable between
1 and 30.

Besides this it implements a few extra’s:

 * turn on/off support for shortcodes in widgets, supporting the shortcodes in the
   other phototools plugins
 * turn on/off a general taxonomy « photogroup » to group photo’s in any groups 
   you like
 * Fuzzy dates on/off. Makes the postdates in the activity widgets more « humanlike».
 * Rich photo info https://www.schemaapp.com/tools/jsonld-schema-generator/Photograph/)
 * /latests option to redirect to the latest posts on your blog. For example: [Example: https://gerhardhoogterp.nl/latest](https://gerhardhoogterp.nl/latest)
   will show your the latest photo I posted.
