The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker
Oh this is very nice. Thank you for your continued hard work!
First, thank you so much for this app. I’ve tried so many and this one was a no brainier, especially since it is so incredibly customizable. The major feature I’ve been waiting for is multi column views (I can never go back lol)
I have a couple requests: Is it possible to add voting without opening the post?
This is the only RIF screenshot I have lol but you can see what I mean in the bottom right.
Second, some posts get kind of wonky when there’s a title and image so it gets very long:
Any way to make the post on the right look like the one on the left? I think it’s specifically when the image is a link preview.
Again thank you so much and either way this app is amazing. I so appreciate the work you’ve done to make this happen ❤️
Not sure about the layout you’re using, but with cards layout there are swipe gestures to up vote/down vote without opening the posts.
I’m using a 2 column layout and swiping hides the post. I don’t see a setting to customize gestures but I’ll look again, I didn’t even think of that
On cards view, there is settings for “partial slide” where it goes from up vote, then down vote, and then hide post with full slide if that makes sense depending on how far I swipe.
omg!!! Thank you! I didn’t realize a swipe was multiple things. I just have to finesse lmao. I am so perfectly happy rn
Nice!! Ive been using Sync for 10+ years and realized almost always whatever feature I wish was there had an existing setting already 😁
Broken comment hierarchy in comments under View more #93
Yesssss! I didn’t find this one the first time I read about the update and was kinda worried it was something wrong on my end.
I’m still having this issue when sorting comments by Top :(
Very nice!
✨✨new photo picker✨✨
I keep getting Error Loading Page 400 over and over
Are the spoiler tags supposed to be working properly with beta 29? I don’t see any mention aside from one comment 2 weeks ago… Even longer ago on the github open issues page, so I was just wondering. (Usually spoiler tags are there for a good reason)
Added for todays release
Excellent! I’m looking forward to the update - excited to watch the app develop, too. Thanks for all your work!
This does feel a little overlooked. It’s a top QOL feature.
Very nice update. Now if hidden posts would stay hidden I could actually use it as my main app!
Fixed for the next beta
Awesome. Love your app, LJ. Use it every day. And great to have posting back.
I’d love to see an option to exclude responses to a post from going to the inbox like in the reddit app. If a post gets popular, the inbox fills up real quick.
Thanks again.
I can’t seem to find a way to even do that on the desktop site
Sounds great, sync is really boosted my overall experience in Lemmy, it’s really fun to use. Great work.
The image picker now uses the fancy new Photo Picker
The fancy new photo picker is a significant downgrade. It can’t search file names, it doesn’t work with microSD cards, and it’s painfully slow. Can we get an option to select images with an external gallery app?
I completely disagree with this, but that’s probably because I actually have a photo gallery as opposed to a set of files.
Wait till this man finds out what digital photos are stored as
I do too. Are you sure you’re responding to the right person? Because you’re not making a lick of sense.
You also lose the ability to use apps like scrambled exif 😢
Lemmy strips all exif information by default when posting, so there’s no need for a scrambler to begin with.
Good to know. But still it’s cumbersome not being able to chose from specific folders/apps
Yeah, plus one for this, the new picker is so limited compared to how it was before. Would 100% vote for a reversion.
I don’t know how it looked pre-update but the image picker from Sync for Reddit was absolutely more functional and still not ugly
Added for the next release.
Nice, thanks!
Bug report: Sharing comments creates reddit links for some reason (couldn’t find a way to report it in app)
Viewed posts still don’t hide when you refresh :(
Fixed for the next beta
Very good! Nice to see the /c/ link issue fixed too.
Thank you!
I am not getting notifications for messages and replies. Is there a setting, that I am missing or is this not yet implemented?
The messaging background job isn’t hooked up yet, I was holding off as to not spam the lemmy servers at launch day with Syncs release. Will be adding push notifications hopefully soon.
