The New Picture Browser - Feedback

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,
Mike

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 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!!!

Totally agree

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.. Thanks

Well, 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..

Popper

: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.

Your comment would be more helpful if you would explain why you don't like it ….

Don't get me wrong it's very nice feature, but …
its remind me of Windows 8 Metro UI
p.s.
i would add some bars :
red downloaded torrent
green completed file

Joker

@mirko69: i do not know windows 8 yet.. i jumped to osx in 2008 :cheesy2:

so many cool ideas - can't wait to find some time to implement some of those.

I was talking to popper already about colored borders arround those pics for torrent seperatioin: eg: white border, next torrent grey border, than again white border and so on.

thx to you we also change the colors for downloaded torrent AND completed (snatched) :crazy2:

Also i do not forget those other ideas posted earlier. I gonna get back to you guys soon (with an update) !

The new picture browser is an interesting option. I'm glad the search feature is still available. I know that many guys base their downloads mainly by the photos, but I like to see the stats - file size, comments, and description - at the same time as the photos. I :love: gaytorrent!
