The photo viewer

Swipe through your results, zoom in, and reach every action of a photo.

Tap a photo, clip or PDF page and it fills the screen. A swipe walks the photos you searched for, in the order they came back, not your camera roll: that is why the app has its own viewer.

01 · Gestures
  • Swipe left or right for the next or previous result. Near the end of what is loaded, the next page is asked for on its own, so the swipe runs as far as the results do.
  • Tap the picture to show or hide the row of actions under it.
  • Swipe up for the photo's details. See photo details.
  • Swipe down to go back to the results, exactly where you left them.
  • Pinch to zoom; double tap to zoom in on the point you touched, and again to zoom back out. While zoomed in, one finger moves the picture; let go mid-move and it glides on, slowing to a stop at the edge.
02 · The actions under the photo
Faces

Frames every face; tap one to name it. See people and faces.

Tags, people and words

Your tags, the people on it and your wording. See editing tags, people and words.

Edit

Straighten and crop, rotate, resize, draw, add text, and erase people, things and text. See the photo editor.

Wallpaper

Sets the photo on the home screen, the lock screen or both. See setting a wallpaper.

The original, or a smaller 1024 px copy; a clip or a PDF as its file. See sharing.

Photos nearby

Only for a photo with a place: the photos taken within 5 km of it.

Delete

Asks first, Delete 1 photo? or Delete 1 clip?, then removes it from every phone, from your index and from your backup. See deleting.

A video plays in the viewer, with a full-screen button, and has no Edit or Wallpaper. A PDF page has arrows to the previous and next page and Open PDF, no Faces, Edit or Wallpaper, and its Delete removes the whole file after a warning. A photo only in the backend has Download in place of Edit, Wallpaper and Delete. An item another phone added that is not on this phone yet shows Not on this phone yet, with Download when a backend is set. A file this phone cannot draw shows Open in another app.

A photo that is still syncing shows its actions greyed out until Opensolr has indexed it; Wallpaper works on it straight away.

While a sync brings in new photos and the list behind the viewer changes, the viewer stays on the photo you are looking at.
