Tweaking Required

Discussion for Nokia Photo Browser

03-04-2009 13:24

first off - great job in fulfilling one of the much requested wishes of Nokia users and thanks for listening.

However, that said, the photo browser still requires some further tweaking in order to make it smoother and render pictures quicker - I am not talking about loading the app for the first time. It takes some time to render a picture in its full quality, so I think that can be improved.

Also, I would like to see more features in this app so that it can replace the innate photo browser on the nokia 5800.

Thats about all that I will be looking forward to.

Thank You Beta Team!

Thanks. I suppose you mean the delay rendering the high resolution image as you enter the single image view. We'll see how than can be improved.

HI!

I love the application...very, very, VERY good start (hopefully a full touch optimized internet browser is next ;) ! )

Ok, I think for this application EVERYTHING should be gestures of some sort (no clunky menu). So:
(1) If you want to rotate picture double tap or hold down the extreme corner of the picture, and rotate finger left or right to rotate in the direction you wish to turn the picture. Course, this is only on the corners, anywhere else the picture will magnify/zoom in.
(2) I personally think the zoom level is fine on this...
(3) For the menu where you want to send via mms, email, rename, etc, there should be a sliding gesture, for e.g. if in landscape, a swipe from the bottom of the screen to up, should slide the menu up...chose options, and then swipe down and its gone. I think this menu should only be needed for sending stuf..not much with picture manupilation.

Besides this I think you guys just need to improve the fluidity of the whole program..where when you swipe and it scrolls, when it hits the ends it should be more fluid. Plus, the white outline around the pictures doesnt look too great imho, and the gray boxes should be some other appealing color while we wait for them to load!

Oh and lastly, when you start the application it should be filling up the whole screen! Thats it, I really think the menu with a upward sliding gesture would be amazing to see!

Good job guys!
