Feature Request: Save and / or zoom notification image #348

Open IanQuilter opened 5 months ago

IanQuilter commented 5 months ago

At the moment it's not possible to do anything with an image shown in the Gotify app notifications. It would occasionally be useful to be able to save the image and / or to zoom in on it. As it is now Gotify is very useful but if that could be added it would make Gotify much more versatile. Thanks.

Would be nice, your best bet is to use another push notification system if you need to zoom in on images. I am currently testing other frameworks to see if I can get zoom/pan on images. PushOver does a great job but its not self hosted. trying out ntfy shortly.

It's too bad as I was using gotify for everything but the no zoom/pan makes it impossible for me to review my NVR ML snapshots effectively.

I use Pushover as well as Gotify, which usually means that I get two notifications for every alert. I prefer Gotify as it's self hosted, notifications usually come through much quicker than Pushover ones and it can also send links which means that I can click on them to view the Blue Iris video that triggered the notification. I don't have any ports forwarded on my home router, to keep it secure, and have my mobile connected via a VPN when away from home so Gotify notifications keep working when away from home. But occasionally the VPN loses connection, due to bad mobile signal etc, so Gotify notifications can stop working but Pushover notifications still work as long as there is a mobile signal. The other advantage to Pushover is that you can zoom in on the notification image. But the disadvantage is that it's not self hosted and notifications can be significantly slower to arrive. If Gotify had the ability to zoom in on the image, which I only need to do occasionally, I would consider stopping using Pushover so that I don't get two notifications for every alert, which can be a bit annoying at times.

Sounds like a good idea.
I will try to come up with a solution for it if @jmattheis agrees that we need it.

jmattheis commented 3 months ago

@cyb3rko Yeah, sounds like a useful addition.

Maybe we can just open the link in browser to do save / zoom, here is a pr just do link open https://github.com/gotify/android/pull/375

I link to an MP4 video, so that workaround won't work properly. Pan/zoom would need native support for my use case.
