Hello Everyone,

If this is an easy question or has been asked before I apologize in advance.

Does anyone know of an application or something which handels Images better than the built in Photo Viewer?

By better I mean in terms of looking for an image either by searching or a way to limit the results. I know the built in photo application has date, name and meta however I know the name or very close to it and the only way to navigate to it is either via flicking 3000 times or using x-term to grep and open what I need. There is also the file manager however I find that to be very slow when opening a large number of files.

I store about 4000 images with me for various purposes and hate flicking my way through them to find a hand full of images. Any information or suggestions (other then deleting most of them) are appreciated.

Thanks

I am not aware of a good photo viewer (have not been lookin).. Maybe organize them to different folders would solve your problems?

file browser?

@AIMehdi
That isn't a bad idea, the only issue is I wouldn't gain any benefit from the Photo Application unless I change how the tracker looks for items. Possible but a real pain. I would be able to then look per folder and reduce my search that way.

@Spotfist
As mentioned in my OP that is an option however when opening 4000+ images it takes a long time, granted no better in the Photo App however at least there I gain a preview of the file.

Sounds like I may try AIMehdi's idea unless I see someone else with a better solution

Thanks for the fast input.

hmmm I see what you mean, im sure I've seen a gimp app somewhere...

Maybe I dreamt it up... I'v just had a look and I cant seem to find it though.

Perhaps in the next firmware update you'll be able to type in the first letter of the file in file browser and search like that...

Sorry it was the Debian package installer that allows one to run Gimp...

GIMP is available on EasyDebian, there is no native N900 version.

Thanks~

I will just find a solution and limp along until either something comes out via firmware / extras or I get off my lazy but and program something haha.

Thanks again everyone for your time.

You can set the Photo Viewer to only show specific directories (see the "Filter by Folder" menu option). Unfortunately it doesn't persist between sessions though.

Hmm
I was thinking of a photo viewer as my next little Python Qt application, as it scratches a personal itch. Tracker already indexes everything, so that might be a route to go down.

I would be interested in what other features people would be looking for.

any one using Canola? I used that on N8XX and it did some of this plus flicker intergration
