Preview media in an overlay to maintain navigation state

Open williewillus opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Scenario: User is deep in a browse of a folder with lots of images. They want to open one. Middle click doesn't work to open it in another tab, so they double click to open. Done enjoying the photo, they either hit Back on the browser or the X in the corner, but they go back to a completely blank folder state. All thumbnails are reloaded and the scroll/sort state is lost. User now has to scroll all the way back to where they were to continue.

Describe the solution you'd like Pop up the image/video viewers in an overlay, maintaining the browse state underneath. Allow media file entries to be middle-clicked so that they can open in the standalone page/url, as before.

Describe alternatives you've considered Keep it the way it is now

OMG, yes! Was looking to report this but now I see it's already there. This is a substantial problem.

Try this one (windows version): filebrowser.zip

I use virtual list to make them show up much faster and keep the dom as small as possible. I also keep the underlying listing page alive when you preview the images.

source codes: Feel free to modify and use these source codes. filebrowser.zip

If I only knew how to build from scratch and make a docker image from your source, that I could just load instead of the one I'm using now. :/

Still an issue. On my side project todo list to hack on this but not sure if I'll get to it.

still a problem.

I recommend the maintainers disable stalebot and similar actions. I used to do this too for my projects, but after reading this article I've come to agree that having such a bot purging valid issues is actually a pretty bad idea and hurts the project. Please consider disabling it.

As always, trying to patch this has been on my list but I'm limited by lack of frontend knowledge and time. Maybe someday.

still a problem.

Can we please at least decrease the timeout for this bot? It should not be one month.

This issue was closed because it has been stalled for 5 days with no activity.

github-actions[bot] avatar Jan 17 '23 01:01 github-actions[bot]

This is still a problem, please reopen. <-> this close to writing a cronjob that'll just ping this issue once a month.

When there are many pictures, the experience is really not very good, and I hope to improve.
