Sometimes the app jumps back to a previous image if you swipe through a collection.

Maybe this is again an issue which happens only if you have bigger jpg files.

I only have an android-4.2-tablet and an android-4.4.2 cellphone.

Is there somebody out there who can confirm that the app work for android-5.x and android-6, too ?

Hello,
I hope it is the right place to ask this.

It would be nice to have the possibility to erase pictures while viewing them (like in the gallery app). And with the possibility to edit them (again like in the gallery app) it would be awesome ! :)

Hope you (/someone) can add this. :)

Thanks for your great program (it was really something that was missing on Android) !

(Sorry for my bad english)

Dunno what the dialog is supposed to do, but for me it's rather pointless. It just doesn't display anything ;)

My device: Fairphone 2, Android 5.1. APM v. 0.4.6.160304

There are no folders to select in the "select move destination" dialog when trying to move our copy an image into a new folder.

If you swipe through images fast, the swiping gets ignored often.

Only slow swiping seems to work.

I found today that the stock camera app does not write GPS locations to the EXIF data in the jpeg files themselves. The gallery app, and this app, however, can show the exact location where the photo was taken. Does Android keep a separate database of geotagged locations?

Using this app I was able to write proper GPS EXIF tags to a couple of photos, but I'd really like to be able to do so to every picture in a batch. Is it possible for this feature to be added?

if you add gps/geo data to a photo that has no exif data yet also add "current file date" as "exif-date photo taken". Else the info when the photo was taken may get lost if local android does not support "set file date"

• On the first open it displayed correctly the photos I might wanted to see (WhatsApp, screenshots, own pictures)
• When adding/removing some pictures, the tile screen is not updated (#43)
• I thought 'lets run the media scanner, that might solve the issue'. Instead it started adding useless app-images (smileys etc) from Telegram and other apps (probably due to #44)
• Now I'm in the situation where I'd like to delete the media database and start as if it were a 'new install' of APM. It would be nice to be able to do this from the settings.

Add a button to clear the current filter settings and show that a filter is active.

Unfortunately the android internal media database/media scanner does not support "tags" for photos
so an android app has to implement the tag scanning/management on its own :-( .

Brainstorming

• v Store infos about tags and image-description in media db
• sync pc-photo-tags with android-photo-tags via "exiftool"-csv file
• extend filter-gui for tags
• tag-update after copy/move/rename/delete

I get the message

Not enough memory, showing reduced preview instead

What kind of memory is not enough?

My internal and external SD card have enough.

RAM seems to be enough, too.

Is there anything a user can do?

Please make the app installable via google play.

If you have good reasons to not do it, then please tell us the reason here:

Thank you.

Unfortunately "android build in updateMediaDatabase" only works for android-4.4 and up. Therefor i create my own update code that works for all android versions

Also: if image-viewer is is invoked for a file that is not in media database (yet) the directory is scanned

The last 25 picked geo-s should be available in the geo picker as "blue markers" when picking a geo for assigning a new geo to one ore more photos

I would remove 'Settings' and 'About' as they are not specifically related to the image that one is viewing at that particular moment. Removing them IMHO improves the user experience. (also because the overflow menu is rather crowded).

Since other languages sometimes need longer texts than english/german-s on "small screen devices" some longer texts donot fit onto the screen :-(

Found so far

• French: Filter - "Chemin d'accés" (eng Path) not enough place to enter the path
  • ? replace "Chemin d'accés" with "Fichier" (eng file)

It would be nice if you could open foto finder via "My Files" app (Samsung).

If I push on a image in MyFiles (folder view), then I can open the image with gallery or fotos (both the google default apps).

I have no clue how to implement it.

APhotoManager ver 0.4.6 and below does not obeye ".nomedia" folder so it adds photos from ".nomedia" folder to database.

A Crash in ver 0.4.6 ist reproducable this way: When opening a photo by file-path APhotoManager translates the path to a content-uri.

If the photo is not in found in the media database APhotoManager starts the media scanner to add the unknown file(s). After scan has finished the photo is opend without checks.

If the photo is in a ".nomedia" folder (or in bluetooth download) the scanner does not add the photo so after scanner has finished the photo is not in the media database.

Zooming the thumbnails in gallery view with two finger gesture or at least a setting in the settings dialog is necessary.

pick photo (mime=image/*) Selecting one or more photos from the gallery and return them.

pick geo: Selecting a photo that has geo-info from the gallery and return the geo-info of the selected photo.

Hi,
It'd be nice to be able to watch images in true fullscreen (only the pic on the screen, no title, etc)...

I was looking for a replacement app for Google's photo viewer and got to this viewer via F-Droid. I have couple of remarks, one of which is the following:

On my phone, when viewing horizontal pictures 'full screen', the quality is ok. Yet when viewing vertical images one can clearly see that images are compressed. Only when you zoom in an image, it will display full quality.
I understand this has to do with speed, but I would expect that if an image is open for a second or so, it will load the full-quality display, both for vertical & horizontal images.

.. will present a chooser for geo-aware apps can be started with current photo-s geo.

Example show wikipedia articles near the point where the photo was shot.

The app is called "a Foto Finder" in most places.

The about dialog still calls it "Andro Foto Finder".

It looks better if the app has only one name. At least in the user visible area.

The thumbnails in the gallery view don't look great, especially if you photograph a paper document. Perhaps it's the interpolation algorithm. Something higher quality should be used.

In contrast, once you're viewing an individual image you can of course zoom out using finger gestures. If you zoom out to roughly the thumbnail size, it looks much better than the thumbnail back in the gallery view.

Could you please give me a hint where in the codebase I should be looking?

When deleting a file from the full image screen, the tile overview doesn't get updated. When you then tap on an image, you get the 'wrong' image displayed. In other words: the miniature image probably isn't correct.

I was looking for a replacement app for Google's photo viewer and got to this viewer via F-Droid. I have couple of remarks, one of which is the following:

The tiles on my device are a bit weird, maybe easiest to just check the screenshot below. There's a lot of unnecessary whitespace. I think it would be nice if

• there was just no white tile-background
• the width of the image was so big that there is not too much empty space (only the regular margins)

My device: Fairphone 2, Android 5.1

to allow processing/sending one or more images.
mime=image/* via ArrayList of EXTRA_STREM

The select path dialog looks confusing.

I though about it and have not found a very good solution yet.

One thing that could be improved: Make the directory name bold,
or show the folder and image counts in gray.

Background: My folder names are numbers (YYYY/MM/DD).

It would be more easy to read the dialog if you can see the folder names immediately.

But I would display the subfolder count. But maybe right aligned. Keeping space between the directory name and the numbers ...

BTW: thank you for this nice app :-)

First of all, thank you for the good app and work you put into your projects. I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask these questions but i couldn't find any homepage, blog or direct contact elsewhere and i'm quite new to github. By opening APhotoManager, i can see the thumbnail tiles of my images (the ones i took by myself and the ones i got sent via messengers), so the access to the storage works fine. But when i tap on a picture, instead of displaying it nothing happens. That being said, i have to mention, that i disabled all Google stuff on my phone (according to the guide on http://www.xda-developers.com/setting-up-android-marshmallow-without-google/) and replaced it with apps from the F-Droid store. My image viewer is "GLImageViewer" but it doesn't provide a neat gallery like your app. I'm guessing that i need some Google stuff to make your app work. If so, which of the services would i have to reactivate?

Kind regards

I was looking for a replacement app for Google's photo viewer and got to this viewer via F-Droid. I have couple of remarks, one of which is the following:

When first opening the app, one gets a whole bunch of photos. Screenshots, downloads, WhatsApp images and your own photo's are all displayed together. It would be nice if instead an overview of the folders would be displayed. For a new user, this is far more welcoming.

Additionally, when introducing the folder tiles, the (forgive my harsh wording) ugly & complicated folder picker might be removed. Or at least I don't have to use it.

[Translations as of 2019-10-16]

If you like to see "A Photo Manager" in an additional language you can help me and add translations through the crowdin translation web gui. You can login there using your Github, Facebook, Twitter or Google+ account.

I can add a "[Language] Translation by [Your Name with link to some homepage]" to the app's-Aboutbox and to this project's wiki History if you want it

Here is the A Photo Manager Translation Project.

OpenCamera/ is an opensource camera app with a function to open a gallery app showing the taken photos.

Todo: find out what intent is used by OpenCamera to open the gallery and implement that interface.

Currently the application can show photos on a map, opened from a Gallery-view. The map opens at the last used position and zoom.
I propose to add "Show on Map" action to the Image View. This action opens the Map with the last used zoom but centered at location of currently viewed image.

I was looking for a replacement app for Google's photo viewer and got to this viewer via F-Droid. I have couple of remarks, one of which is the following:

One can set the number of miliseconds that the overlay action bar is displayed. For the sake of an easy user interface, I would:

• get rid of that setting (this is simply one of those things that should 'just work', the current setting IMHO is just fine)
• make the bar hide/display if one taps on a picture (this works similarly in many other apps; start display on tap already works)

Also, it would be nice if the overlay action bar would keep its state (hidden) if one swipes from one full image to the next. Often I don't need the tools when just flicking through my pictures (when showing them to friends & family). And if I do need it, I tap on the picture (like described above).

I was looking for a replacement app for Google's photo viewer and got to this viewer via F-Droid. I have couple of remarks, one of which is the following:

All these photo names are pretty much the same, and all are rather pointless. It's just [a string of numbers.jpg]. I'd rather remove that and focus more on the image itself; that gives me far more information.

This overlay would be useful however for folder tiles.

In v0.4.4 there is only filter bookmark support

• Folder bookmarks to quick select copy/move destination and filter-folder
• Map bookmarks to quick select visible map area including zoom-level. Also usable for "set-geo"
• v0.4.4-bookmarks will be renamed to "filter-bookmarks

Currently the different icons in the app don't all look the same (different styles, colours & sizes). Would be nice if they could be harmonised. AntennaPod (another FOSS app) uses https://github.com/JoanZapata/android-iconify and that seems to work pretty well for consistency.

• folder picker https://design.google.com/icons/#ic_folder
• show map https://design.google.com/icons/#ic_map
• overflow menu: https://design.google.com/icons/#ic_more_vert

• share https://design.google.com/icons/#ic_share
• edit https://design.google.com/icons/#ic_edit
• overflow menu

Most image apps use a black background when images get displayed in fullscreen.

I would prefer black, too.

What do you think?

Why did you choose white?

For photo copy or move: Android5.0 Error Copying photo to foldoder. The direcotry picker shows read-only folders as copy/move destinations where photos cannot be copied to

this error is reproduceable and happens every time i start the scanner:
