The entry 'Photos' displays a bucket of thumbnails sorted by upload-date (i guess). There is no option to reveal any hierarchy or order them differently and it takes ages to display large amounts of thumbnails. This is not very usefull i think.

solution i'd like

This menu-entry should probably behave more like the nc-gallery-app. in particular:

• respect .nomedia-files!
• view hierarchically as Album-folders to be able to drill down (that would also reduce the thumbnail-latency i suppose)
• Bonus:
  • support gallery.cnf files
  • pause/play button
  • rename the whole thing to 'Gallery'

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/1008 (Improve offline support), https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/567 (Photo view), https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/2414 (Improved Upload Status), https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/660 (Duplicate entries), and https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/445 (Minor Usability improvements).

Apparently this is in fact related to #567 but honestly i can't see the benefit of such a view.

The web app has a lot more options for displaying photos, most notably viewing by album, which I consider minimum functionality for a photo viewer. The Android app should at least be brought to feature parity with the web app

I would also like to request viewing by album functionality. If there's any way I can support that, let me know.

yes album functionality would be great. Unfortunately I think there has been some backwards progress; a recent updated renamed the photos section to 'Media' and it is now broken for many users. Hoping for a fix soon and then maybe new features like albums can get some attention

respect .nomedia-files

This is a bug, isn't it? I faced this issue since I saw hidden files in the gallery view of the android app whereas they shouldn't be visible at all.
