What's now your top priority to fix with #Fedilab?
Think to use the GPS icon at the top right to see all replies and interact with suggestions.
Thank you.
@apps I still vote for fixing the jumping timeline. When an image (and maybe link preview?) loads off the top of the screen, the current position shouldn't change at all. Only a touch should move the timeline.
@tjk
We have to check if your instance gives info about media size. That's what fedilab uses to create the space in timelines.
@apps Even if it didn't, would it be possible to anchor images at the bottom rather than the top, so that when they load, they shift the timeline upward and don't change the reading position? (More carefully: anchor them on the side of the reading position, so that reversed timelines, or people who read the timeline top-down, aren't affected either.)
@apps I've tried a lot of apps, and Fedilab is the only one with this jumping issue, so I assume the others do something like anchoring, or they fetch media information in a different way. (Fedilab is better in several other ways, so I don't want to switch back!)
@tjk
Do you use fit preview media option? Other apps don't do that but that needs the instance gives info about media width and height so the app calculates the needed space.
@apps I do use it, because Fedilab crops the image more than other apps if it's turned off. Here's a comparison with Tusky, for example.
@tjk
Have you removed left margin?
@apps Yes, but even if I disable that, and disable fit preview, it still crops more of the image than Tusky, and puts them in a less convenient arrangement. Here's another comparison like that:
@tjk
We stopped to use that max 4 media presentation because some instances allow more than 4 media.
@apps I understand. Maybe it could be a setting? I would much rather see everything in my timeline than have to scroll in an unexpected second dimension.
@tjk
Yes, we will add that view automatically when media number is equal or lower than 4.
@apps Awesome, thank you!!
