a bunch of magic constants in the browser - move to defines at the
top. these are for tuning the general way the browser does things so
keep them in a block at the top as defines and move the delayed
populate to an animator to keep a constant amount of per-frame actions
limited (like creates and destroys). up these to 32 creates and
destroys max per frame to keep max smoodness in scrolling around.
on reflection i could also just limit it by time as well... but... for
now this is bvery good and improved over what was there a little bit
ago...
this limits how many per second we create or destroy spreading the
cost over time to keep smoothness at the cost of perhaps some delay
until you see updated content as you scroll.
so as you scroll it'll load/create and not per dir. this gets rid of
big stalls as a whole dir worth of edje and thumb/album objects are
created and packed etc. ... now it's far more smooth. i could try and
spread the entry creation over time too instead of all of them that
appear at any time which might be smoother, but pretty good right now.
it also destroys as items go out of the window
browser hides and rage relied on elm auto-focusing what was left after
hiding/deletion of the browser input button... but this broke ... work
around it and be explicit in focusing win content again.
so resize rage up and down and well... kind of undesireable things
happen to browser items in windowed mode. you want more of a swatch of
things to select from that don't get sily big (or way to horizontally
or vertically squashed) - similarly for fullscreen mode but be a
little different and don't enforce a max size then... it just works
better now... resizing around... try and enjoy. now back to work...
so if someone is sily and sets their videos dir to be $HOME ... don't
use it as frankly that makes the video browser useless. it is not
meant for such a mess of dirs. it's meant for a special subdirectory
system which is primarly just media files and nothing else ... not $HOME
so now sizing and count and spacing of items change, header
sizes/style change and more when switching to/from fullscreen mode.
fullscreen == "i want to be a media cener now on a big screen tv" vs
"i'm a video collection browser in a window on your desktop". far
nicer now. i think this is getting close to another release. maybe
after 1.18
make video hide on stop so when browser i sback there isnt a dead
video in the background
make poster mode explicit so timeline thumbs work again
add spacing between browser item and make label multi-line
...
1. guess if it's a move by aspectr ratio and lenght.
2. if it meets this - search for a file poster online instead of
generating thumbnails.
3. make thumbs now taller than wide to accomodate poster sizes
looks nicer now.
this adds a video browser that indexes everything in ~/Videos
flattening subdirs into categories. It also will handle music and
fetch album art. browser can be mouse or key controlled. makes rage
almost media-centerey. not intended as a replacement tho, but just
that it's handy to throw in.
