Show as many photograph details as possible (description, location, shutter speed, f/stop, ISO, et. al.) #71

One of my favourite features of Tabliss was that it supplies some information (usually a location or description) regarding most Unsplash images being shown.

Bonjourr also does something like this, but it seems to show such details much less often. Would it be possible to show photograph locations and descriptions as often as possible?

There's another extension called Photographic Start that is wonderful because it also shows the shutter speed, f/stop value, and ISO value for each photograph. It uses a predefined database, so I'm not sure if there is any reasonable way to do this as well without creating a database. But if there is a clever way to do this, it would be amazing. :)

Merci!

Bonjourr shows the city & country of each photos, however sometimes those infos are not available. In which case we just display "Photo".

It would be a great idea ! Bonjourr and Tabliss are both using Unsplash API, so we do have the same database. I don't know when this feature will be added, but it definitely will ! 😄

Sounds great! Thank you!

I'm not sure, but there might be a little bug that is causing only the first (or last?) portion of the city/country details to be displayed. For example, there was a photo of Paris, and Bonjourr only displayed "France". When I clicked on the link to Unsplash, the Unsplash page indicted more details about the location, including the name of the city.

Which photo was it ? I'll try to replicate the issue.

Gitoffthelawn commented 2 years ago

While searching for that specific photo, I found a spectacular photo with the same issue:

Bonjourr only displays "page, arizona", but Unsplash.com displays "lower antelope, page, arizona".

Here is another one that came up:

I see, Bonjourr displays "[city], [country]", but sometimes artists add more informations to the [title] field, and sometimes none to [city] or [country]. Therefore Bonjourr doesn't have anything to display.

It is more a feature than a bug, as we wanted the credits to be only a few words long, and sometimes titles can be very lengthy.

We'll work on this issue when we'll work on the customizable photo description feature !

Sounds great! Personally, I like to see as much info as possible about a photo (location, description, camera settings, etc.). If necessary, I can always use a little CSS to hide things (or reduce opacity) when not hovered.

Looking forward to the improvements when you have time.

This amazing photo came up, and I noticed that on unsplash.com, the location is in a different field (I think it's the description field) that the other examples.

So far, I am loving this new functionality! Thank you! Feel free to add as many details about each unsplash photograph as you can obtain... I find all the information very interesting and educational.

victrme commented 2 years ago

Thanks :) Well, descriptions are too tricky to implement on the page, so that's all we can get from Unsplash !

Gitoffthelawn commented 2 years ago

Thanks! Maybe it will get easier in the future. :)
