Adapt picture size in the timeline view via settings #282

Closed goebbe closed 6 months ago

goebbe commented 10 months ago

Problem: When scrolling through the pictures in the timeline view, searching for a certain pic, the picture previews (thumbnails) are too small for me. Background: I use a medium size smartphone, and 4 pics in a row leads to small previews.

Solution: It would be great if it would be possible to adapt the size of the previews (thumbnails) in the time-line view via the settings. For me, 3 pictures in a row would be perfect on my smartphone. But I imagine that, e.g. on a tablet also, 5-6 pictures per row would be just fine.

Edit: Now, I installed Gallery on my tablet - and was surprised by the very small picture (preview) size and many pictures per row. So it seems that currently the picture size is fixed - and not, as I wrongly assumed, the number of pictures per row.

Alternative solution: Adaptable size of the timeline previews via gestures (2 fingers zoom).

Additional context I don't have the best eyesight. :-)

Thank you very much for providing the Gallery app!

IMO the 2 finger zoom solution is preferable over an explicit setting: It's (nowadays) more intuitive, faster to adjust, same in functionality, and would not introduce an additional setting's option.

This is standard in most Gallery apps Nowadays, so its probably a good idea to implement.

@cmoz @OpenSaned I agree. However, I think it is up to the developers to decide if and how different picture sizes should be supported. 2 finger zoom is likely to be more involved than an additional option with other (fixed) picture sizes in the settings.

I am closing this as this feature is now available via the 2 Finger zoom gesture
