Gallery+ v15.1 released

that doesn’t look very good.

Gallery+ (along with the other “+” apps like Task+, Calendar+ and so on) is troublesome in terms of continuous development. It would be better to integrate its features into the official Gallery app.

So owncloud/gallery is now better than nextcloud/gallery, especially since nextcloud/gallery+ is gone. I would expect any respectable “media” app to have good support for movies in 2017. Let’s hope that Nextcloud catches up quickly before Owncloud or else becomes a better option.

24

The native oC Gallery is better? I remember that otherwise. Or do you count gallery+ as the native one?

25

There is too much misinformation here.
Gallery+ was transformed into Gallery in ownCloud 8.2.
I kept Gallery+ alive as it had small differences and because I wanted to get the latest features on older versions of ownCloud until the latest release was considered stable.
I now don’t have enough free time left to work on Gallery+, so I will probably retire it at some point.

The most advanced version of Gallery is in Nextcloud. There is no development happening on the ownCloud side.

Unfortunately the nextcloud gallery doesn’t get too much development either, loads of stone age issues, and nearly no commits, if I read correctly.

Well, sharing was introduced in the slideshow, including social sharing, thumbnails are now shared, the correct background is selected for transparent images and maybe a few other things. So it’s alive, but we’re missing a proper metadata collector in the server to start adding more advanced features.
I can tell you that big features are coming though :).

There was a metadata app released a short while ago - that could be promoted to core functionality if it does what you want?

29

Unfortunately, that app doesn’t help AFAIK as it doesn’t store data in the database. I think a generic metadata extracting module which can be extended based on file type would be good.

Thanks for the info and the clarification. I wish there was more active development for the nextcloud gallery app. It’s a nice and essential app. It could be some much better with a few additional features, in particular for playable media, though. Nextcloud would greatly benefit from it too, imo.
