Retrieving Images #2

Our current plan is to traverse through every single directories in the device and display all the images in the device file system. This plan will display images stored and used by other application installed on the device.

I suggest that we should traverse into particular directories where it mostly contain images stored by the user or taken by the device camera.

How about a folder browser with check boxes to select which folders you want to search for images.

Kinda like a filter.

adrianlee commented 12 years ago

Doesn't have to be check boxes but you get the idea.

choiboi commented 12 years ago

So a list of folders and when you click on one of the listed folders it will display all the pictures in that selected folder?

adrianlee commented 12 years ago

Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking. By default, photos and camera folders should be selected.

I guess we want this feature to be as simple as possible to understand and use.

In our current setup we will be looking for folders with the name:

images need to be compressed and resized before loading it to our DOM. or else loading many images will take a long time, killing user experience.

These methods resize the original image. We need a way to get the thumbnail or cache a smaller version of the original. Thats the only logical method i can think of to reduce dom load times.

Probably do a resize and compress when we load an image for the first time.

Is there any function that allows us to load images quicker with the help of an Api?

Need to figure logic for when an image doesn't exist after being imported into DB, it should not be shown. Right now, I believe it imports photos from a source to DB, then load images from DB to collection.
