Qumagie image viewer background

Post by mustard »

Anyone else horrified by the latest update? I'm not exaggerating when I say the web view is unusable for me now. The blurred background framing images in the image viewer confuses me visually and makes it impossible for me to take in the image properly. It's awful. I managed to find a workaround using web developer browser plug-in tools to block the background, but this has to be done manually each time I enter the viewer and disabled again when I exit it. Why they can't just enable a toggle to let people choose their preferred interface - assuming some people actually like this - I have no idea.

Just noticed this myself.
Don't like it.
Hard edge to the picture is definitely preferred.

I have raised a ticket on this as follows.

New Blurred background to photograph display outside image border. Enhancement Request

The blurred extension of the photo image to auto-fill the display area in my opinion is sometimes confusing, sometimes really distracting and sometimes just awful.
Please consider providing an option tor alternatives so the user can chose their preferred appearance.
Suggested alternatives: white; grey; black; blur bright; blur faint.

If this issue affects you too, please raise a ticket to assist consideration.

Yes I agree. While the latest version fixes some major issues, it adds some new ones. The background image without being a "problem", is quite annoying. Although there is no toggle to enable/disable it, it can be done easily with a little code modification. This little override does the magic, removing the background image, making it black. Tested ONLY in my x86 NAS

Code: Select all

cp /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/qumagie/web/app.e4c785809c5bb71be3e6.js /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/qumagie/web/app.e4c785809c5bb71be3e6.js_old
sed -i 's|"url('\''".concat(L,"'\'')")|"none"|' /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/qumagie/web/app.e4c785809c5bb71be3e6.js
IMPORTANT: The name of the file can be different, as well as the path where it is located. In my case the applications are in "CACHEDEV1_DATA.
IMPORTANT2: The string to replace could be different depending on the version of QuMagie installed, even on different systems. I recommend making a copy of the original file first.

Obviously, If the application is reinstalled or updated, it will be necessary to modify the file again, perhaps with the same pattern, or it will be necessary to use different string

Thank you so much for that! I've been using browser dev tool plug-in to kill the background, but it's fiddly and nowhere near ideal. Relevant directory on my NAS was /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/qumagie/web.

Fix still working as of the latest version of Qumagie. Still a life saver.

And this one its for Videos:

For videos it's a bit different, ideally we would use concent-visibility to avoid canvas rendering, but support in browsers is still poor, so the old good display

Code: Select all

sed -i 's|filter: blur(10px)|display: none|' /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/qumagie/web/app.d700681e7c43268816ab.js

Above fix no longer seems to work in V2. However, with the uBlock browser plug-in, using this custom rule to block an element seems to do the trick (replace with your own NAS IP obviously):

192.168.0.100##.imhRXX.sc-fXoxaI > div

its almost the same, with a minor change:

for v2:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's|"url('\''".concat(z,"'\'')")|"none"|' /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/qumagie/v2.0.0/web/app.feb0fddc07e9661125b2.js (for image)

path and js file can be little different.

Fantastic. Thank you. I did try and pull apart the syntax but it was a little beyond me.

Thank you. Also worth noting that the browser plug-in Web Developer has an option to hide background images that currently works like a charm.

For 2.2.0 it doesn't work (at leas on my NAS). Has anybody an idea how to fix it in 2.2.0 version?
