Create a background worker to mirror MediaStore Database to an internal Room database for faster loading speeds

Hi, this app is nice, but Is it possible to make the app icon more materialistic?

Enhancement: the ability to hide albums

I would like to have the possibility to set "open video with external player" optionally.

Available options:
• only internal player
• only external player
• ask me every time

really like this app but cant put it on my homescreen 😕

In order to easily switching among tabs just needs lateral swipe.

Screen: MediaViewScreen

Current Behavior: When zooming in to the boundaries of an image, the zoom jumps back to 1x

Expected Behavior: Don't jump back unless the user double taps

Enhancement: The ability to pin certain albums to the top of the list.

Hello

After downloading the APK file from Github, when I open the installer file with Android, there is an error message.

The error message is displayed immediately and I don't get the installation progress window.

I am attaching a screenshot of the error message, here is the English translation "a problem occurred while parsing the package".

Currently when there is no internet connection to show the map, there is a text that says "Internet us not available" but it's not clear, that one can click and open the location inside a map app anyways. A little icon indicating this or text decoration like an underline would fix this.

Could make an option to delete any metadata from photos ?
Also it could even better to be a second option for photos which metadata are erased to be overwriten in place without the need to make a duplicate photo

That's a very promising gallery app. However, it probably dosen't have multiple languages. So i want to translate this app in romanian if possible.

I use Nokia G10, Android One 11. Tried installing 1.0, 1.0.1 - both didn't install.

Hey 👋,

I noticed that when zooming an image to the maximum, it is unfortunately no longer possible to unzoom it with 2 fingers. It only works to double tap the display to completely unzoom the image.

Please remember to increase versionCode with each release (and while on it, also to adjust versionName). Your current release (v1.0.1 according to its tag name) identifies as 1.0+1, the very same as the previous v1.0. This is a problem for multiple reasons:

• Android uses versionCode to tell versions apart. A higher number means an update, so the user is notified accordingly. An unchanged number means it's the same version as installed, so the user is not notified. A lower number means an older version as installed, so the user is prevented from "simply installing it over the existing one" (e.g. database structures might have changed, and would mean a broken install otherwise)
• If versionName is always the same, there's no easy way for a user to even know which version is installed on a device 😉

Thanks for taking care!

Hey 👋

I would like it better if the playback of a video continues when you rotate the screen instead of stopping it.

I would not call this an issue but an improvement.
Other video players do not stop either.

All the Released Files have "Gallery.apk" name.
But you can append version number after that.
For example -
"Gallery 1.0.1.apk"
"Gallery 1.04.apk"
Etc

So that when I/we will download a new update, it gives us proper info about the File with just reading the file-name.
(Currently it goes like "Gallery.apk" , "Gallery(1).apk", "Gallery (2).apk" etc.

Please removing the unnecessary permissions.

Latest Release version is Corrupted ig
(My device - k20pro miui13 A12)

There lagging while scrolling on main screen.

And 1.0.1 is not installing it's showing parsing package error

Hey 👋,

It would be nice if there is a deletion confirmation (dialog) when emptying the trash. So as a last warning.

This prevents the trash from being deleted by mistake.

Hey 👋,

It would be nice if there is a haptic feedback (small vibration) when selecting items.
Like it is the case in Google Photos for example.
A small vibration when you press longer on a picture or video.

Hi,

Can you add the ability to rename files in your app?

Thanks

Currently I am obliged to grant permission to manage all the files of my device.

This is not necessary: Aves requires permissions only for the media file directory (images, videos).

I therefore ask for this enhancement to be introduced.

The app is crashing after tapping on the share button after opening any image from folders like camera, screenshot which r in sd card.
To recreate this issue :- Just open any folders which r in sd card like camera then open any image, and then tap on share button, app will b closed immediately or u will get a popup gallery is stopped working.
Device - Realme 3
Android version - A13, sdk33
Hope u will fix it, thanks

I come from Aves Libre.

Currently design in Gallery has too much big frames, so it needs to scroll up and down to see six albums (cards view).

I ask a little smaller frames (as option).

I don't want activate the orientation sensor.
Might you add a orientation switch button in GUI?

Should be a non-default option for users who like to get it right first time and not have to delete files twice.

Could show the location in the info view and let the user open it in their map app

this is super promising as a gallery app, lookh good, works smoothly and isnt complicated, however

probably the one feature i dislike not having in foss galeries, a video editor

super convenient, just cut a video to the right length or whatever

this might be useful for that:
https://github.com/tizisdeepan/VideoEditor

other than that ive got nothing to say, just as an enhancement, add a video editor

thanks :)

Currently the MediaComponent compostable is getting the isSelected value as a Mutable State of Boolean that is resulted by checking if the selectedState list contains the id of the Media object the component is representing.

This approach significantly slows down composition as the list is iterated each time to determine the isSelected state. In order to avoid such heavy load on the composition, the isSelected state should be moved inside the MediaComponent as a local mutable state of boolean and the composable will receive as a parameter 'selectionCounter' of type MutableState of Int initially defined by 0 (defined in the Screen and set as rememeberSaveable).

The isSelected will be free of logic as it will serve purely as a state holder. The selectionCounter state will hold the value of selected MediaComponents in order to check if the selection UI should or not be displayed when the first or last ITEM is selected/deselected

I have created an issue for this app to be added to F-Droid: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/2412. Do you oppose this?

Unable to download on android 7

Hey 👋,

An 3 dot menu in the "Albums" tab would be an advantage to get into the settings.
You have to switch to the "Timeline" tab every time to get access to the 3 point menu.

Hey 👋,

There is a visual error at the edge in the bottom sheet as shown in the picture. You can easily see through it. On the left side it is correct.

10 seconds rewind by double-pressing forward to the right of the pause and backward to the left of the pause

The homepage/album page still lags while scrolling, it got 3rd update still same lag.
Some features r missing but it's still good, it only needs optimisation, hope u will fix lag soon

For comparison:
The above photo is from the latest 1.0.3 update of the Gallery app.

The photo below is from the Gallery app made by Google.

Possibly with https://github.com/burhanrashid52/PhotoEditor ?

When I disable internet, the map isn't loading obviously. Before a text was shown that there is no internet connection.

I guess after you changed it from the string to coordinates it messed it up. Idk

Screen: MediaViewScreen

Current Behavior: If zooming in, for example, a high definition photo, it is still in a pixelated state.

Expected Behavior: Zooming in photos must be in HD quality.

It seems SVGs can be correctly pre-viewed, but not correctly viewed.

Example:

Photos/albums pre-view:

View of first image:

View of second image:
