My Pictures 3 alpha

[smeghead]

ill add the movement percentage (or pixel amount, however ive done it, i cant remember off the top of my head) to one of the controls in the settings panel (just look at settings in the alpha 2 release), it will be a slider like the width/height and slideshow interval controls.

What you actually want to do with panning whilst zoomed is to move by a proportion of the originals width and height parameters.

e.g if the original width is 760 pixels then the panning could be 76 pixels at a time. If the width is 400 pixels (you are zoomed in) then the panning should be more like 40 pixels at a time.

Alter the absolute panning values (in my code for example) to a percentage of the width (or height) values. You could set the percentage panning value in the config program.

yeah the aspect ratio correction wasnt working in that release, its working in the alpha 2 release.

Great! I'll have to try that. Do I go to the same link?

you can use skip/replay (ctrl-right, ctrl-left) to jump to the next picture at any stage.

Great also!

Any type of adjustability would be a great improvement. I would approximate it to be about 4-8 times coarser would be nice.


Also, I havent tried it yet, but what happens with the aspect ratio if you adjust it for a 4:3 picture, then view a 3:2 picture? Or even a square one?

Others have mentioned it, but I haven't tried it yet.

About half of my digital camera pictures are 3:2. 4mp 2448x1632
the rest are 4:3 1.3mp 1440x1080 or 5mp 2576x1932

my pictures 3 alpha 2
fixed
- the bug that required you to have more than one virtual root element
- image width/height ratio now work correctly (so can adjust images so people dont look super fat or anything)
- some other bugs

Looks good but I'm getting some big errors. One error when I'm trying to navigate a folder with 20 or so pics, I get an error "Failed to load resource from resource file please check your setup". When I press enter (or ok) GBPVr crashes. This is not a consistant failure.

Another problem in when I open a folder in my pictures (20 to 30 3.1mp images) GBPvr hangs.

Am I the only one?

Please note this is not on my Main PVR its on my laptop:
1.8 Pentimum M
512mb ram
WinXP Pro
30g HD

I did some more testing this error only happens with 2 folders. It's does not appear to be a problem with the amount of pic's in a folder or the size of the pic's. It might be a bad file. Although I cant seem to find one.

Also the transitions seem to slow things down a little especially the first time its rendered. Will it be an on/off option in the "setup" menu? And finally is the "copy images" going to make into a Alpha release? I would love to try it.

Thanks for a great plugin.

Heyt

But i found two problems:
1. When you change the aspect ratio in the submenu (by the way looks really nice) it will only effect non rotated and 180° rotated images. Whenever you rotate by 90° to any direction the aspect ratio turns back to 100% for both.

you are right.

2. The EXIF thing: In gerneral the reading of the EXIF data seems to work, but the images which should be rotated behave really strange. First the obvious thing they are not rotated!. And now the a bit strange thing on the remote the button for the rotation that is needed is deactivated (means if picture needs a rotation by 90° to the left the red button has no effect any more). And the other button will rotate the image by 180°.

all the images you sent me are rotated the right way around for me, the thumbnails are the right way around, the preview is the right way around, the fullscreen is the right way around, the only problem is rotating with the red/green button. try it on the photos you sent me, and if they work send me the ones that dont (you only sent me photos with 2 orientations (well 3) and exif has like 8 different orientations).

What you actually want to do with panning whilst zoomed is to move by a proportion of the originals width and height parameters.

yeah i changed the panning in the code you sent me, since if you zoomed in it was jumping you couldnt move in small enough increments for me. i think i use 30/zoomfactor to get how many pixels to move.

they should work fine, aslong as their resolutions are 3:2 not 4:3.

can you email me the pictures, ill pm my email address to you.

ill add an option to turn off transistions in the settings menu.

And finally is the "copy images" going to make into a Alpha release? I would love to try it.

this is the last thing on my list, so wont be a while yet.

my pictures 3 alpha 3

- addresses all of those issues in the last post
- added "show transitions" to settings panel
- added "panning level" to settings panel, the panning amount is this: 30pixels/(zoomlevel/panning level)

What a howl, I just installed rev2, and open the forums while GBPVR was loading. I guess I'll try rev3 now.... I am looking forward to it. I will have to make a test image to test and setup the aspect ratio.

I did notice this. The first digit of the interval is cutoff. It is set to "10" here.

yeah i mentioned that problem in the first post (or some other post) visual studio was acting weird when i did that control and wouldnt let me bring the numeric box to the front, so i thought bugger it, change it later (would have required me to close down visual studio and reopen it, couldnt be bothered).

yeah i changed the panning in the code you sent me, since if you zoomed in it was jumping you couldnt move in small enough increments for me. i think i use 30/zoomfactor to get how many pixels to move.

Since zoomfactor could go to 64 in my code it may not "pan" when zoom is 32 or 64 (as 30/32 will be 0 as an integer). Maybe try adding an offset, what about this:
(30 / zoomfactor) + 10

i also dropped down the zoomfactor to a max of 10, 64 was just to large.
