The New Picture Browser - Feedback
-
I think it's a good start. Overall, I like the idea. A bit of padding around the images might make it a bit easier on the eyes. I love that the files appear in what seems to be a random order, so older torrents show up near the top. That will be great for keeping some torrents alive longer and reviving some old ones, too.
Is there any chance of getting the "clear all" and "set all" buttons from the search page on the filters for the browse page? It's a bit of a pain to have to tick or untick all of the boxes to filter the images.
The biggest problem I see is that some of the images are the thumbnail sheet from video capture software. For those torrents, the image is really 10 - 20 tiny images that cannot be seen. Perhaps this could be fixed by giving uploaders the option (or requirment) to select one full-size image to be the display image for the browse page.
That criticism aside, I think you're on to a great idea. We still have the old search option available, so it's great to have a choice there.
Thanks!

I like it. At lest as it doesn't screw up the old way. The option is there and it was a bit redundant. Me, I like the old way, but then I'm old … ish And here, just for you, because it is awesomely annoyingjavascript:void(0);
Hello from SXSW. I actually live at ground zero.

testing: if you select "Sort by latest torrent first" it shows just one pic for each torrent, ordered by latest first.
also no recycled torrents are shown hereunfortunately we cannot choose "the cover" and other interesting attributes yet
i also added the size of the torrent, time_ago uploaded and the amount of seeders / leechers for more information
i have not much time to work on. Stay tuned.

Wow, nice. Those changes made a huge difference in usability.

At first i was like - what the f… - but after reading your explanation i must admit - i like that idea. Certainly, it can't replace the regular browsing/search page, but it's a really cool alternative.
Some ideas of how you could improve it in my opinion:
1. add information about what it is and how it works
2. add some customization:- 'select all' button
- (maximum) picture size
- nb of pictures per page
- nb of pictures per torrent to be shown
- a switch of whether to show covers or just random pics
3. Some time ago i proposed to revive the tagging system (https://community.gaytor.rent/index.php?topic=18172.0). It seems you've improved your initial idea and implemented it in a slightly different way (after downloading the torrent we vote for 5 categories it should belong to). As i'm not entirely sure how it works (If i select to see only >twink< category, will the conventional browsing page / the new browsing page show me also torrents uploaded to the >twink< category that have been voted bareback?), maybe you could add sorting by tags too, if applicable.
4. A search box. This way i could see in pictures all >twink< videos starring "Jordan Fox".
5. OR => AND/OR,NOT. As far as i know currently the OR function is in use. If i select >twink< and >military< categories it shows torrents from either of those categories. It'd be nice though to be able to use another logical funtions. This way i could see all movies that are both >military< and >twink< or an another example - all >bareback< films that are not >asian< (but to be honest the switch between OR and AND would be totally sufficient)
Good job guys. Greetings,

I'll admit I was startled at the the pics view at first, but I quickly found out that the search page was still pretty much the same so I certainly wan't annoyed. In fact, I've come to like this newer view and the roll-overs are very helpful. One thing I could see some getting annoyed about is the load time for the pics, but I've got a relatively older machine (it started life as a Vista machine), yet it handles the loading process reasonably well. No complaints there, really. But I could easily see someone still running XP and finding it slow. Still, everyone gets used to one thing and change is loathed. Hey! Look at how much I loathed Vista! Well, of course, I was right on that one, but even so, it had some things that I learned to love: the breadcrumbs trail at the top of Windows Explorer (which, hopefully, MS is finally calling their file manager – jeeze, even people at MS had problems figuring out if you were talking about WE or IE) and the Windows Photo Viewer (which for some insane [oh, let's just blame Ballmer] was dumbed down for 7).
I'll stop babbling now….

i am new to the site ,but i love the picture browser. it allows easy access.
-
Too much going on ???
soooooo slow :cry2: -
I love the picture browser. Great idea. I much prefer it to wading through lists of names, especially when all I'm doing is hovering over each one to look at the pictures.
Please keep it!
-
It is just another OPTION!! and I love it! I Like how I can still click only the categories I want display….
THANKS!! Only one Suggestion I have always wanted .. Because of bandwidth .. I do not want to see 6gb torrents, cuz I could never get them anyway... It would be awesome if we could set a couple size limits to show. Like, ANY, or <6gb <3gb <1gb >500mb etc!!
Great Job.. Keep the app UP!! Nice Programming!!!! Always like to see ne things!! :cheesy2:
-
I think its neat, but it does take a while to load up all the thumbnails
-
When you hover over pictures or even move around, I think the Black info box comes up way to fast and sorta ruins the experience.
You should think about turning that down a bit.. (delay) like ??maybe 2-3 seconds after the mouse has stopped on a pic before the info box pops up.Looking KEWL!!!

In the Picture browser category box, It is nice that , In my case, all 12 of my favorite categories are automatically checked.
But could you add a Clear button? E.G, sometimes I just want to look at 1 category, But I have to UNCHECK the 11 others.. ThanksWell, I did notice that if you just double click the "NAME" of one catagory the rest will clear. But many might not know that.. Just a thought..
-
:afr: I realize that only know as you pointed the double click function on a category name. As moderator, usually I've no category selected, means all.
"Clear all" and "Select all" like added on the search should be more intuitive.
