Title: Gizmo - Image Handling
Post by: marko on December 19, 2011, 11:25:32 am
Slowly but surely, Gizmo's image handling is getting better, but is still lacking some features that I would consider pretty crucial...

Pressing "Play" on an album, for example, does not actually start a slideshow. In fact, I have been unable to get a slide show to run at all.

Touching the screen advances to the next file, this is OK, but why not gestures? Swipe left to advance to the next image, swipe right to go back one. I want this so bad it hurts!! ;)

I absolutely love the 'film strip' along the top, but seriously, when tapping the screen to advance to the next file (film strip is hidden) 40 photos in, some one says, "whoa, go back, let's see that last one again"... We can't swipe right, so, let's go up for the film strip... only, it has not kept up with the current image... cue much dragging, watching the little thumbs intently to find the spot we're looking for... all just so we can go back and see the previous image...  You see? The film strip needs to keep up with the currently displayed image.

Pinch to zoom? I tried it and of course, as soon as I touched the screen, it moved to the next image :( Any plans to add that?

I thought this would have had a lot more buzz about it...

I still think they're essential additions to Gizmo image playback capabilities, and their absence is painful.

What is Gizmo? An android app or a web server? I am confused.

Gizmo is an android app. It turns the phone into an MC client, connecting to an MC server, allowing playback on the phone itself, or, if you prefer, on the server. It's very clever indeed.

Thank you. Guess I got it mixed up with Web Gizmo.
