I've noticed that when in single photo view scrolling is circular, meaning that when you get to the last photo it returns you to the first photo when you press for the next photo. When wieving all photos in thumbnail view when i reach the end of one side of the photos it won't return me to the beginig of the other side. I'd like to see that circular scrolling in the main view also.
Thanks for the idea. Design discussions are welcome.
We've had that implemention at one point, actually. But we've decided to remove it. The problem was the frequent unintentional roll backs, which was a bit annoying.
When you move to the picture far away in the grid, you don't really make delicate move and accurate stop. In stead, you'd just make rough scrolling, pass the picture as you locate it, and then unwind the grid to come back to the picture. The unintentional roll back happens when the wanted picture is near the end of the grid. We figured it causes less hassle just bumping to a wall at the end.
I had seen a joke software for PC that exploits this kind of behavior. It brings your mouse pointer to the other end of the screen as it hits one end of the screen. That had really put me in trouble every time I wanted to click "Start" menu or "My Computer"=)
Well i'm always for leaving an option for users to decide. There are people that would like that, i'm sure of that, and there are others who would find this anoying and wouldn't want that. Giving a option for this in setting and leaving on users to choose. Don't thnik that's much of a hassle. :)
I agree with Milan21884, it has to work.
If it is so hard to do it, you can easily ask when I reach the first picture to go to the last one and when I reach the last picture go to the first.

Given that at the moment, this app is not about organising your photos but showing off / displaying them, why not join the ends up to form a continuous loop when scrolling? Ie - when not scrolling the images are flat, but as you scroll in one direction (lets say from the left to the right), the images move offscreen on the right hand side of the screen, and, given enough scrolling, eventually return from the left side of the screen to vanish again off the right.
