Gallery overview is missing

[jnweiger]

Seen on damkencloud:

The old gallery had a tiled view which gives a nice overview of all images in a folder:

e.g.

When we install files_mediaviewer then this overview is gone. That is a regression.

Media Viewer is a replacment for the Gallery. Install Gallery and you are fine.

Missing tile Overview is a feature requests which need to be opened and addressed.

@DeepDiver1975 there is a contradiction: If mediaviewer replaces gallery, then I cannot install both. I am not fine.
@pmaier1 @hodyroff Please confirm this is an intended regression or reopen.

@pmaier1 confirms this is missing in the current version.
-> Feature.

Hello,
to be honest, to me it looks like there is some misconception with the transition from Gallery to Media Viewer. Gallery provided two things: A directory view (thumbnails) and an image viewer (when clicking a picture). The Media Viewer for some reason completely dropped the directory view (no thumbnails any more, just default file view) and replaced the image viewer with a media viewer just dropping two key features of the old image viewer: hires full screen support and timed slideshow.

To me it is absolutely unobvious why the Media Viewer is advertised as the all new and better image viewer (https://owncloud.org/news/good-bye-gallery-say-hi-to-the-new-media-viewer/).

Don't take me wrong, I absolutely acknowledge the development effort spent on the new app, it looks clean and polished, but unfortunately is just missing (to me) key features.

I would really appreciate to have back the thumbnail view and the full screen image slideshow.

I agree,
The missing directory (thumbnail) view is a showstopper for me. I‘ll stay with gallery until is added in this app as well.

Additionally, the Gallery app doesn't work anymore in OwnCloud 10.3+, so there's no choice going back to the old one until the missing features are implemented.

For me, the most useful feature was the directory thumbnail view, even if it had serious performance issues with large amounts of pictures.

AFAIK the gallery app should still work with 10.3 as there were no changes in API.

@pmaier1 AFAIK the mediaviewer and Gallery apps should not be installed in parallell.
