Overview

{ SHORT DESCRIPTION WHAT THIS FEATURE / IDEA IS ABOUT }

Current implementation

The picture player is responsible for opening and presenting the images. Currently pictures are always opened as a "slideshow".

• This means if multiple pictures are opened, they will be added to a "playlist" and the displayed, each on for a defined time. If all are displayed the player is closed.
• If a single picture is opened it is displayed for the defined timeout and then the player is closed as well.

Proposal

PictureBrowsing (SinglePictureView)

When a single picture is opened the playback time for this picture is infinite. It won't switch automatically to the next one and the player won't be closed automatically.

The KenBurns effect is not activated within this mode.

Control / Navigation

*Navigation to? other pictures*

It is possible to navigate from one picture to the previous or the next one of the same folder. (Could be achieved by adding all pictures of the current view (filter) to a fake playlist even if only a single picture is being opened.

InputMapping: Left / Right, Previous / Next

Zoom

Pictures should be zoomable. For more information see Zoom.
