Display all photos from a specific album #5

Closed kngautham closed 1 year ago

kngautham commented 1 year ago

I used the following code for displaying photos from an album called Cool.

I used the code from the Google Developers page https://developers.google.com/photos/library/reference/rest/v1/mediaItems/search

Error I get is Malformed input. Please check the filters you are using.

{
  "albumId": "Cool"
}

Can you tell me the right format to display photos from specific albums. Thanks

The album ID is a random internal ID assigned by Google, so you can't do it as you have it there. But it's an interesting idea that I could implement to be able to show albums. What would be the benefit of having them inside Obsidian vs viewing them normally in Google Photos?

Your implementation will allow me to view the images in one place and if I need to view the high resolution image for further reading, I can go to the main album. Your implementation will make it easy for quick viewing.

But you can already view all your Google Photos in one place - in Google Photos. What would be the benefit of having them inside Obsidian vs viewing them normally in Google Photos? I'm trying to understand the need so I can understand how and if the feature could be added. The more info the better.

+1 to add the option to see albums sn Obsidian. Use case (illustrative): I have in obsidian a note called "Home" structured into different markdown sections (##) and a series of Albums on Google photos per each home I lived in. I want to access these albums on the "Home" page. The same for Vacations structures into cities that I visited along with contextual information per each travel.

The great thing about having albums in Obsidian is the integrated experience I can have between different types of media

Makes sense, I'll add that in a future release.

This is now available in v1.4.0 - please update and check it out.
