[Suggestion] Add open with lightgallery pop up menu when image files were selected. I'm using a MBP, and still hasn't got this feature.

&.lg-on{
.lg-drag-drop {
display: noone;
}
}

should be

&.lg-on{
.lg-drag-drop {
display: none;
}
}

It would be nice if we can drag a directory of images rather than manually opening them.

Currently, switching between images takes pretty long with an ease-in-out-like timing. For a better user experience, I think this should probably be shortened, and switched to an ease-out timing, or no animation at all.

This is more similar to Apple's default slideshows.

The "open with..." context menu alternative in Windows does open lightGallery, but not with the selected files loaded. So you have to drag and drop to use the program.

I imagine this is true for other platforms as well, from what I can understand of https://github.com/sachinchoolur/lightgallery-desktop/blob/master/app/background.js .

Would be nice to be able to click 'Reset to default settings' from the menu. If you've messed around with the settings and want to restore to default...

I try open, but show me that:

The image should maintain it's aspect ratio but take up as much space as possible in width/height. Most image viewers have this feature.

pretty much the what the title said, change the folder name and removing the prefix will fix the issue but I use it to organize my folders, so I'm not willing the change it.
anyway, it gives " err file not found".

hopefully, there is a work around it in the code and it will probably fix the issues mentioned by others that they were also unable to load the images for some reason.

When displaying images using the "autoplay" feature and manually moving to the next image the autoplay gets interrupted, but still shows "enabled" in the toolbar menu.

Couldn't find any information about which version I'm using but I assume it's the latest Linux build since I downloaded it this morning.

It would be nice to support videos, webm, mp4, etc, basically anything the native browser can play. It's becoming pretty popular to convert .gifs to .mp4 so would be nice to play those in the image viewer.

Zoom focus stuck on middle of image, need to be able to move within zoomed image.

Where can I see current image name? It's better to display the image name in the title, IMO

Rendering a 4K image takes too long. Sometimes a 4K image chops off when you play it in a slide show. And there is a transaction problem with Linux version, transaction between image flow isn't smooth. Try fixing them

your viewer looks great.

only think i cannot do is to see filename, that is useful to identify what photo you are watching.
or that function is implemented and i cannot find it ?

Hi, I make the request to add a button to rotate the images in the sense clockwise.
Thanks

I don't even know where it installed the files through the .deb package and there's no shortcut to it anywhere. The application should be added to the applications menu.

Although there is a play button, this doesn't really reflect a true slideshow mode. In nearly all image viewers, a slideshow mode is pretty much full screen image without any controls whatsoever. It's a one click operation. Currently you need to go through the settings and configure a minimal based UI just to enter a slideshow. It would be nice to have one button to achieve this.

OS: Elementary OS (Ubuntu 16)

I would expect that something similar to:
/opt/lightgallery/lightgallery MyImage.jpg

Would open/view the image or folder as passed in, but instead it just opens lightagallery and ignores the parameter.

@sachinchoolur it does not support keyboard operations to complement the drag and scroll (zoom) interactions, but working fine for mouse user.

How can I set it as my default image viewer in linux?
It doesn't appear in application list to open images with it.

Hi Guys,

is there a way to either disable or hide by default, the thumbnail slider ( below the full size image slider )?

thanks in advance...

Hi I saw in one of your demos a reference to mousewheel.js but this doesnt seem to be part of the npm module.

I have found it in your github repo though and it looks like it is reference jquery, is there a non jquery version?

I want the gallery to close when the mouse wheel moves.

I know it's not a problem. how can I do it?

Hey,

thanks for the great package. I tried to run the app using rpm start, but can unfortunately not load the images with file/open directory. I am attaching the "npm install" output in the file links bellow. Installing the app from the prebuild .dep package works as expected.

Any clues why it doesn't not work?

Thanks!

Hi, I am not sure if it is normal or not, but when the slider running in autoplay, the memory is keep increasing. Any idea to prevent it happen?

as deb only supports debian based linux can u provide an app image, snap or flatpak Pls :)

FLIF (Free Lossless Image Format)

Hi there! Great project!
Thanks for zip/tar.gz source code released. Can you guys, release *.rpm package for linux too ? Any redhat / fedora user will love and appreciate it !

Loaded a directory of 346 images and each image ~15 MB of size. I waited for ~40 seconds but nothing loaded up. Consider doing lazy loading of previews, i.e load the previews of first few images and then accordingly with time load others as the user navigates. Loading all at the time, eats up a lot of RAM and slows down the app.

Swipe to left sometimes performed as swipe to right, and vice versa.

While in Autoplay mode, it would be great if the app can poll the source folder and update the enqueued image list based on the most recent contents in the folder.

This is to facilitate a use case where lightgallery is used to display content like in a kiosk setting, where the content being autoplayed is being updated in the background while the autoplay is occuring.

Would make a big difference if the thumb images weren't squished to a square. I'm picturing making it optionally either like background-size: cover or background-size: contain.

The created thumbnails look pretty squashed, it'd make more sense to fill the canvas around them and keep their original aspect ratio.

I use the following method for that in simplethumbnails:

  function resize(imagewidth, imageheight, thumbwidth, thumbheight) {
    var w = 0, h = 0, x = 0, y = 0,
        widthratio  = imagewidth / thumbwidth,
        heightratio = imageheight / thumbheight,
        maxratio    = Math.max( widthratio, heightratio );
    if ( maxratio > 1 ) {
        w = imagewidth / maxratio;
        h = imageheight / maxratio;
    } else {
        w = imagewidth;
        h = imageheight;
    }
    x = ( thumbwidth - w ) / 2;
    y = ( thumbheight - h ) / 2;
    return { w:w, h:h, x:x, y:y };
  }

I'm currently on a plane, but I may be able to create a pull request with this soon.

Hi,

please provide keyboard shortcuts. it would be nice to have it at least for toggle fullscreen.

thanks

Is LightGallery Desktop compatible with Windows XP? If not, skip the rest of my post. If so . . .

Why can't I place LightGallery on-a-drive/in-a-directory of my choosing? I had to hunt down where it installed (In Windows Program Files folder) and manually move it to the Drive + Folder I intend to use it in, but I get a "not a valid Win32 application" error when I attempt to launch the program.

This doesn't appear to be working? The thumbnail doesn't animate. Maybe it's not looping the gif?

Hallo sachinchoolur,

I just bought a licence and I cannot download the receipt - it tries to download "true.html" (?) but then a server error occurs.

I also have a question concerning licences for another project.

How can I contact you??

Regards
Anna

Doesn't seem to get rid of the controls at the top of the screen (Window, File, Thumbnail, ....) so not really a true fullscreen mode?
