Possible solution for full screen images

[silver18]

I fixed the crashes problems!

Here's what I found out:
- if I open an alert box in the main page (where you can find the splash image), it doesn't crash!
-i f I open an alert box ONLY while reading or managing bookmarks, it crashes.

It seems that the Kindle doesn't give permissions to open pop-ups (or can't manage them) from a page that's isn't the index.html!
But, opening an alert box in index.html make the rest of alert boxes work...


So that, wait till tomorrow and I'll release the new portrait version with this workaround (welcome popup! )

I used the plain install.

Yeah, me too... plain install...
And confirm that I do have design problems, but not in the home page... sorry, my mistake...

Here I am!!

This time it's not really a new release, it's just an easy fix for 5.1.0 firmware.

As I stated before, 5.1.0 firmware messed up a lot with Image Gallery.
I fixed:
- design problems
- crash problems

A small drawback is the new welcome popup: a little trick to make the app working with the new firmware.

What I added:
- you can now try the resize function. In reading menu you can tap on "change image width" and enter a % (from 0 to ∞).
From 0 to 100 you'll shrink the image width, from 100 to ∞ you'll enlarge it and you'll find 4 arrows.
They can scroll the image in 4 directions with 200px steps and they hide themselves after 2 seconds unless you use them. To bring them back, double click anywhere (not too fast!!).

A little explanation:
this feature was intended to be used almost only in landscape mode, therefore the 4 arrows!
In portrait mode, up and down arrows are useless as you can change only the image width.
Let me know if you prefer to change the length along with the width.
Feedbacks are always welcome but with this feature they are almost necessary!

AND THE LANDSCAPE MODE???
I can't do nothing by now to bring it back. 5.1.0 removed the possibility to rotate browser and WAF applications.
Landscape mode is still there, waiting for someone to hack the rotation system.
I'm a bit sad as I use landscape mode more than portrait!
If you miss it, help me make the browser rotate again!


HOW TO INSTALL
Just replace files in the correct place:
- index.js in /extensions/imagegallery/bin/resource/JSandSH
- all html files in /extensions/imagegallery/bin/
- all gif files in /extensions/imagegallery/bin/resource/Images

@silver18, did you tried to use CSS properties for implementing of landscape mode? Something like:

-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);

(or, maybe, just plain transform: rotate(90deg); will work)

Of course, it should be applied on user request through JavaScript...

Is it necessary have installed the 5.1.0 firmware to use this update?... Will it work with the 5.0.4?

Thanks! =)

Here is the 5.0.4 version.
It has resize function both in landscape and in portrait mode.

As before, replace files in correct position!

I'm working on it...
Rotation seems to work, but I have to change the pivot point, translate everything and then change width and height....
I'm having problems with moving around elements!

A small request: Can you add the currently viewed folder name to the titlebar?

[silver18]

It would be awesome!!! Imagine curret folder on the left and current page on the right...
Anyway, I don't think it could be possible in a waf!

Correct me if I got wrong, but should not be this way?

- uninstall: screensaver and everything else
- uninstall: launcher
- update
- jailbreak again
- install the new launcher
- install image gallery

[thomass]

This is what I know:
- uninstall: screensaver and everything else (AFAIK only screensaver, localization hacks, ktrotate and launcher has problems with 5.1.0. For example you do not need to uninstal usbnetwork, jailbreak)
- uninstall: launcher
- update
- jailbreak again (not necessary)
- install the new launcher
- install image gallery

When I Update my KT, I lost my Jailbreak... :P
Was my fault, maybe?
