Photo and PhotoPro from Weaver's Space

Classic Stacks

You are correct regarding using the arrow keys to move - you do go to the first slide after the last.

With regard to the background colour, I can only assume that there is something else overriding the css setting. I’m using F6 for my tests.

As you can see, I’m no expert here, I’m just fumbling around in the developer panel changing css to see if it makes any difference. As nobody else has jumped in here, probably best to leave it until Joe gets back. As I said before, Joe might have done the odd bug fix with Photo and Photo Pro, but I really don’t think he has rewritten the code in toto.

Hey, Gary, I am grateful for your attempts and willingness to help. Do you know when Joe’s coming back from vacations?

23

Sometime towards the end of next week I think?

I have not added or removed any features to any of Nick’s stacks. I have released a few minor bug fixes but the stacks are mostly identical to how they were when maintained by NCD.

What is the status of this? It’s lengthy thread. @rovertek can you re0summarize what the current status of this is?

@joeworkman Hi, Joe, I hope you had nice vacations?

These are all questions about the Photo stack – just as at the beginning of this thread:

  • Is there no “freehand” lightbox theme (I am looking for the 50% neutral gray solid background, not 50% opacity)?
  • Looping is impossible to switch off, when using keyboard arrows (it is disengaged in settings). Is there a trick to it?
  • Is there a way to align album name and caption in a lightbox in horizontal center?
  • Is there a way to change album caption’s color? The default color is almost invisible in the “Default Dark” lightbox theme.
26

Full style control over the lightbox is in Photo Pro.

You are correct. It seems to always allow looping in the case someone is using the keyboard to control. I can file a bug.

There currently isn’t any setting to control the lightbox caption settings. There are alignment options for when in the grid though.

Similar to the lightbox colors, this is a feature of Photo Pro.

27

@joeworkman OK, Joe, There is just one unresolved problem here.

If there is no way to set the custom caption color in Photo, at least it should be changed in hard-wired settings of this stack, because as it is now, the caption is almost invisible in “Default Dark” theme (see the screenshot).

This changes the caption colour to red in Lightbox view in Photo.

em, i {
font-style: italic;
line-height: inherit;
color: red;
}

Hi, Gary,

Thanks for the CSS snippet. It surely is helpful, but my problem is with the stack itself. If the colors can not be customized, then at least the dark theme should be designed in such a way that the caption would be readable.

So, I still need @joeworkman to address this issue.

I understand what you are asking for, but all I’m offering is a temporary fix until Joe investigates further. As it’s not his code, it might not be a simple fix.

As Joe says, some of the things you are requesting are available in the Photo Pro version.

Also, I’ve been using Nicks Photo for a number of years and I don’t ever remember any updates of the stack in all that time. He seemed to have abandoned development in favour of Photo Pro which was a bit of a disappointment for me.

You are correct. there were issues with the default styles. I have shipped an update to resolve that. Thank you.

@joeworkman Thank you for that, Joe! I will try the new update shortly…

33

@joeworkman Joe, caption color is now fixed after the last Photo update. That’s great. But the keyboard looping is unchanged. Do you think you could take care of that as well?

All preceding questions in this thread were only about the Photo stack.

I have another set of questions about the PHOTO PRO 1.1.3

…which has some bugs and missing or wrong features. For an app calling itself “Pro”, that is quite a few qualms…

  • I can’t use images hosted on server and protected by Sitelok (PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'siteloklink' (T_STRING), expecting ')').
  • Lightbox can not be closed by the standard action of pressing the “escape” key on a keyboard (it works in the non-pro Photo).
  • Looping can not be switched off when advancing images with keyboard arrows (just like in Photo).
  • Album’s Title and caption in a lightbox can not be aligned in the horizontal center.
  • Album’s Title should be at the top of a lightbox, or above a caption, or flush with a caption, but certainly not at the bottom of a lightbox, as it is now.
  • Why is the lightbox Title size limited to 15 px?
  • Why each EXIF data type can not be hidden (only Date and GPS)?
  • EXIF Dimensions data type is WRONG because it shows dimensions of an image on the web and NOT original dimensions, so it is not EXIF data at all – I would suggest removing this data type altogether because it misinforms.
  • Copyright information should be attached to single images and not to Photo Pro Base, because different images may have different copyrights.
34

EDIT

Strike that first issue. Displaying images protected by Sitelok works now.

35

That looks like a PHP syntax error with some Sitelok code.

I will file requests for the rest of your requests. No ETA on release though.
