GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 320542
[PATCH] add slideshow in single image mode
Last modified: 2005-11-13 18:27:20 UTC
I'll attach to this bug a patch again GNOME anoncvs as of nov2 2005 to add to EOG slideshow of images even when opening a single image (file->open as opposed to file->open folder). Just open a single image, view->slideshow is activated and displays a slideshow of all the images in the folder. Tell me if you want changes to the patch.
Created attachment 54244 [details] [review] this patch adds the new feature. it's against CVS HEAD of nov2 2005
Created attachment 54245 [details] [review] better patch I realised the previous patch did not free some resources. I'm programming too much in C#... better now.
Thanks for the patch! I think this feature will be present when we move EOG to the new UI that we're planning for 2.14 (see http://live.gnome.org/EyeOfGnome). For now, this feature would be not intuitive because of the current UI aproach.
nice to see new plans for EOG. However, I see that patch as part of this plan. The only other parts of this plan is to remove the directory view, add previous/next in the toolbar and remove new. Probably this new UI would not require a rewrite? This patch could be step 1 of this new plan. I don't see why this feature is not intuitive at this stage. The feature does not depend on the directory view. On the GUI view it seems identical to what is detailed in the plan. As part of EOG 2.14 you can just remove the directory view it will not affect this? I would just like to be sure that in 2.14 it will actually be possible to view a slideshow without being in directory mode because i view that as a critical feature. And I don't see this patch conflicting with the plan, only supporting it.
Ah, maybe I understand what you meant: that you'd like to merge full screen and slideshow, only offering fullscreen in the GUI, with fullscreen having a floating toolbar and a play button to press to get a slideshow. Is it what you want/why you don't want this change?
No, it's more simple than that. :-) First, I'd like to add Next/Prev button and remove directory view because it'd make the user "aware" that when (s)he's viewing a single image, (s)he can navigate through other images from the same directory. This way, It'd would be more intuitive that the slideshow work as you propose here. Don't worry, this feature is part of the 2.14 plan. :-)
Fixed in HEAD. With the new UI, when you open a single image, you can easily browse images from the same directory. So, slideshow behaves as suggested here.
