Is there already a time horizon for completion :) ?

[ildyria]

I wish. :')

I have a PR here to create a small blog:
LycheeOrg/LycheeOrg.github.io#132

waiting for reviews. :)
The blog aims to provide some highlight of the work in progress on V6.

[tinohager]

The site looks nice. The main menu item "Docs" has no content yet. If I understand correctly, this project will also replace the current project website?

[ildyria]

No, just an update/refresher of the LycheeOrg website, nothing much there.
The make command build the full thing in dist (including the docs ;) ).

[ildyria]

Yeah I need to redo a lot of the translations. :(

"Upload track"

what should the button say at first glance I do not recognize what exactly the meaning of this button is

If you have gps data, you can upload a track xml data and that one will be displayed on the map in addition to the pictures.

this is probably not a likely function for a standard user. I would direct this to a separate dialog where it is better described.

[tinohager]

Apply composer update on lychee update via web interface

Probably not available in the Docker version either

[tinohager]

Language used by Lychee

I would move it to the Config section for Owner and Title

[tinohager]

Hide current version number

use Lychee instead of current

Hide Lychee version number

[tinohager]

Force 32 bit legacy identifiers in the database

What can the setting?

[tinohager]

Frequency of Lychee update checks

There is a number which unit has this?

Automatically check for new updates

The 2 points would probably belong together

[tinohager]

There are some settings in the video area that could be merged.

• Defines whether ffmpeg processing is available
• Use local takestamp for the following video formats
• Path to the binary of ffmpeg (not needed for docker)
• Path to the binary of ffprobe (not needed for docker)

[tinohager]

Mod NSFW

Does not speak for itself the title Sensitive Albums would perhaps bring more clarity

[tinohager]

Zip compression level.

Does this make any sense at all as the images are already compressed as jpeg. The size will probably not really improve significantly

Use Zip 64bits instead of 32 bits

Probably not usable in Docker either

[tinohager]

However, the message does not disappear

Missing medium
Found 1 medium that could be generated.

[tinohager]

We don't really have a big Benfit here

[ildyria]

Quite a few things to improve...
I think for the settings, I will need to refactor quite a bit the way the sections are currently divided.

On one hand, I can see why this is a bit overwhelming, but on the other hand I would like this to be transparent for users, so that they don't feel that they have to look through each tab one by one... (that is why I added the menu on the right to jump directly to a section or another. That way users can just scroll down to discover the settings, one page, nothing hidden, but also have quick access to each part.

One thing that I am missing as capabilities in this page, is the ability to reorder (as a dev) the settings and the categories.
That is something I will most likely rework.

I also do agree that footer can probably be split, moved in some other section.

What I am unsure is whether this refactoring should happen before or after release of v6. I do not want to put too much pressure on my dear @d7415 :)

[tinohager]

The Setting Page optimization can of course also come with 6.1.

I think this is primarily about a sensibly organized settings dialogue. Probably a small pull request from my point of view. If you don't want a tab then we could pursue an approach with the right menu. And integrate the important points at the beginning and then list the detailed settings further down.

[d7415]

I'm clicking approve because at this point I can't remember many of the comments, but I don't think any were critical. Most are about comments.

[tinohager]

Then we are now ready to start the merge here? 🤩

[tinohager]

Proposal

We are excited to announce the release of Lychee version 6! This new version brings a major upgrade with a completely reworked frontend built on Vue.js. By leveraging the power and flexibility of Vue, we've enhanced the overall user experience, making the interface more responsive, modern, and easier to navigate.

Someone made quite a few comments on this PR, so that someone will have to wait for that stack of 17 PR to be collapse into this one. 🤣 Then we will be able to merge. 😄

So once @d7415 reviewed 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, I will apply the merges and then Version 6 will be live.

I actually quite like the image, the text feels still a bit too ChatGPT~ish :)
I will need to create a blog post here for it.
I already started working on a draft of the release note: LycheeOrg/LycheeOrg.github.io#159

[d7415]

That is a weird image. But I am on board with an anthropomorphised lychee.
