The Places view gets a Grid/Map toggle. The map shows a bubble per town,
sized by its number of photos, over the outline of the world's land. Towns
whose bubbles would overlap merge into one that counts all their photos, and
clicking it zooms in until they part; clicking a single town opens it like a
card does. Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, and the buttons zoom in,
zoom out or frame every place again. Hovering names the town, or the first
few towns of a merged bubble.
No tile server is involved: none that is free has terms allowing an app like
this one to use it. The map is drawn from Natural Earth's 1:50m land
polygons (public domain), trimmed and simplified by
scripts/natural-earth-land.py into crates/pdfs-gui/data/land.txt, in Web
Mercator. The About dialog credits Natural Earth.
PlaceInfo carries the town's latitude and longitude; a daemon older than the
map sends none, and its towns are left off the map.
Photos now know where they were taken. proton-drive-rs 0.7.0 reads the
Location from a photo's extended attributes, and the timeline refresh stores
it with the photo (schema v33). The migration marks every photo unresolved
once, so the next refresh backfills locations from node metadata without
downloading anything.
Towns are looked up offline: pdfs-core bundles GeoNames' cities15000 table,
trimmed by scripts/geonames-cities.py, and files each photo under the
nearest town within 50 km. The new PhotoPlaces and PlacePhotos requests list
the towns and page one town's photos.
The Photos page gets a third view, Places, with a card per town (newest
photo, town, country, count). A place opens in the gallery like an album.
Country names come translated from the iso-codes catalogs, now an optional
dependency. The About dialog credits GeoNames (CC BY 4.0).
A "Find duplicates" button in the Photos header opens a review of every
set of files that share a content hash. Each set shows its copies side by
side with a Keep toggle; the copy in the most albums, then in the larger
RAW+JPEG group, then the oldest, is kept by default, and a set can't lose
its last kept copy. The copies not kept move to Trash one file at a time.
- core: Db::photo_duplicates, Request::PhotoDuplicates, and a files_only
flag on TrashNodes (defaults to false, so old clients still trash whole
groups).
- core: deleting a group's representative now clears the group key of its
remaining files instead of leaving them pointing at a missing uid.
- fuse: handlers for both requests.
