Suggestion: Info Bar shows Directory #14

Open drv55 opened 2 years ago

drv55 commented 2 years ago

I've recently joined and really like the direction Dynaframe is going. Over the years, I have grouped my photos into "Albums" and organized them within a directory structure that works for me. In Dynaframe, you use selectable "Playlists" which can include multiple subdirectories (Albums) that are hidden from view (which is fine). So my Playlist/Album directory structure might look something like this:

Family Adventures 2007 - General Jackson Cruise \ Photo-1.jpg \ Photo-2.jpg \ Photo-3.jpg 2012 - Summerville Steam Special 2019 - Blue Ridge Parkway

Ancestry 1921 - Trenton Meat Market 1929 - A Sunday Visit 1965 - Easter in Dalton GA

So the point of all this is to suggest the option of showing only the Album directory name (i.e."2007 - General Jackson Cruise") in the info bar. This option makes it very easy for the user to show an image caption (pulled from the Album directory name) without having to mess with Exif data fields in each media file.

One of these is coming soon and info bar that will be fairly programmable. I don't know it's exact spot on the road map but I don't think it'll be long, I'm honestly not sure though if it will happen before the end of 22.

The other option is to turn on file info, which will give you the file name and the folder it said. Turning opacity off on the background and setting a color in font of your choosing are specially easy in the upcoming beta,. Though both of those functions work right now.

I will also log this as a change request to have an info bar version that gives folder path.

Tagging this one with the overlay feature as that would be likely where I'd implement this. Ideally the infobar will be deprecated once the overlay engine has full parity
