attachment redirection

AvinashR

i tried searching for this but could not find. so asking here. please link if it’s already requested.

i see that when clicking attachment it takes me to the entry rather than opening the attachment. this is quite annoying as i have to come back to attachment list section to open other attachments of different dates.

when i click attachment it should open inline image/video/other. not take me to entry.

for example in whatsapp specific chat -> media,links and docs option, upon clicking any images opens the image rather than when message(image) was sent. Upon long pressing the image, it shows two options: copy and goto message. we can apply same to diarium attachments.

Diarium version: 2.9.78
OS + version: ios16
Device model: iphone 13

Use case
——-
When features request for attachments filtering is implemented, this request makes more sense.

Assuming it can filter TAGS too. If not please provide tag filtering as well.
So use case is to look at body transformation of myself. I go to gym and I take daily photos of me every day morning at 7am.

So when i filter attachments a by tag body-transform it shows pictures of me taken for all days. Now navigating through each photo within attachments makes more sense than going to each entry just to see one picture per day and coming back to see other days.

@timo may be you can look into this for motivation based on your reply

timo That's a great idea, I should be starting to do the same

Generally I would prefer to see the entry relating to the picture. But after reading this, I think it's a good idea to have an option.

I think it would be good to open as image first then have a mini bar at the bottom of the screen to press to go to entry. Left scroll and right scroll should work to scroll the images in the attachment like a normal gallery.

+1 for me on this request. My old journal app (Memorize) did exactly this. From a list of images, grouped by date, if you clicked on an image, it opened full screen. Swiping moved through the images and clicking on the image again from full screen took you to the entry.

AvinashR This really is on my 'hope list' for Diarium features this year.

Most of my friends have their photos in their camera roll or backed up with a cloud service and scroll through every single shot they have on their phones with those dedicated apps or a gallery app.

I take my photos off my phone, import into Adobe Lightroom to catalogue, and add to Diarium from there (sometimes replacing the photos added directly to entries with better edits).

With over 11,000 photos in my Diarium database, Diarium is essentially my portable photo album, and being able to view photos directly from the attachments view, and then hopefully swipe left/right to navigate in chronological order would be amazing and add a new dimension to the app.

Add tag/people/date filtering to the attachments view and.... just wow!

Yeah. Same feeling.

It does not feel natural to me that it redirects.

@timo - any further update on this idea? I miss this feature from an old journal app as previously mentioned.
