[Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Hello all,

I compiled this small photo viewer to have an easy touch screen application which zooming the position where you make a double tap.
You can zoom out step wise with the minus key or make a double tap to fit again to the screen.

Maybe it is useful for somebody else. Feel free to try it out. It is quite self explanatory.

Nice work ! I love the style of buttons. Though i would like to suggest some improvements. The photo-names below the thumbnails are not visible properly, get overlapped by the below thumbs. The previous-next buttons dont work, they take you too thumb gallery. While i double tap to zoom, the images should be scrollable, so each and every corner of the image can be viewed. Right now when you zoom and scroll to see upper right corner, it will take u to the next image.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Yes that is true there is room for some improvements. This was only a quick feasibility study if it is easy to work with the source.
Furthermore this version is for multi-touch. There is also an old version for single-touch (I saw it afterwards) I will look into it and will cook a more useable version for the N900 before it will got to extra repository.

By the way the previous-next buttons are jump to start-end from gallery buttons. You can use swipe or left and right arrow key to get to next previous picture.

At the moment I didn't do any development work I only compiled it and put it into a deb. So all thank-you should go to Mihai Paslarin for sharing his source code. I was looking for QT examples to write my own viewer but this application is so promising to work with that I will make some improvements. I posted it here to get some impression and ideas from the community. So thank you for the feedback.

I tested and liked it much, especially the keyboard options. One thing I noticed that the application is too much power hungry, but need more testing to be sure.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

You can try to run the application in single-touch mode by adding a command line parameter --no-multitouch. However the upper menu is hardly responsive. But the zoom function is very nice then.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Yes I have the same feeling.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Thanks its pretty good, it could be very usefull if properly ported. Btw gif animation is not working.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Added a new beta version to first post. Now it should be more useable.

- fixed slightly the menu
- fixed the settings dialog
- fixed slightly names under thumbs

Remove previous installation with
dpkg -r mihphoto
rm /home/user/.mihphoto.config

Install
dpkg -i mihphoto_1_0_13_armel_beta2.deb

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Though we can zoom in and out from the in-app buttons and from the volume key too. But I have an idea and felt like sharing. What if we can zoom in and out by sliding up and down on the screen, like we scroll on lappys through the touchpad.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Then you can't scroll up and down a zoomed picture. When you use the zoom slider you don't need to press a button.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

you can use borders for scrolling and center part for moving, that's the way its done on laptops

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

@KotCzarny Exactly.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Thank you for your ideas.
Maybe I implement a swirl gesture for zooming. However I am not a professional software engineer and things like that take ages for me to realize.
So the relation between benefit and spent time wouldn't be great. Also I am sticking to other projects which will have more priority to me. So I don't know if this will ever come true.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Wouldn't that be more difficult to implement than sliding along the edges of the screen? Sliding along the edges should be pretty easy to detect and program, besides swirling looks silly :)

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

swirling +1 or it can be done the way folder gallery does it i.e hold and drag and hell you can even rotate room blazing fast
oth how to disable filenames in thumbnails ? it looks horrible
and photo switching is kinda slow

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Yeah could be I was wondering if there is maybe a source code for swirl gesture.

Leave fullscreen mode (third icon from left) use the menue and settings (or options->settings) -> Thumbnails uncheck "Show image names".
For switching speed in settings->general set "Image slide speed" to Very fast. Or I could release version 1.0.4 which seems to be faster.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Can't find the source from folder gallery it seems nokia projects are down and https://gitorious.org/maemo-garage/foldergallery seems empty.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

i download from here
https://github.com/QKit/Folder-Gallery/downloads

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

Does someone still have the sources of 1.0.12/13?
I remember successfully downloading and building them under Debian Stretch two years ago, but I wasn't clever enough to keep them and all the links seem to be down.

Thanks!

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

This is a good question I have an original file, and I have a modified svn checkout, when I remember right.
With the version numbering was something weird with 12 or 13.
Maybe there was never a released source code for 1.0.13, there is also no changelog entry for 13.
The binary on qt apps was 1.0.13 and I downloaded the svn version and gave the same version number. As a tarball there exist only 1.0.12.
So I looked now and could not see any differences from tarball to my svn checkout.

Here as far as I know the latest official "tarball"

I uploaded my modified sources to github.

Will upload mihphoto to extras the next days.

Re: [Announce] MihPhoto a photo viewer
 

I see! So far my understanding was, that 1.0.13 was your unofficial version.

Thanks! It seems to work fine.
Though I thought there was a an option to shuffle images. That's why I was asking for 1.0.12 because I didn't find that option in 1.0.6. I guess I was mistaken.
