Folks,
I have created a small photo viewing application that I wanted to publish to the world. Key features are
- Native C code. No dependencies on .NET or any other library
- Tiny (just 25Kb)
- Full screen photos with gestures and hot-spots
- Slide-show mode
- Nice transitions (you can see them all in the slide show mode)
I have tested this on my GPS (CE 4.2) and PDA (Hermes) and it works quite well.
Gestures:
- Slide left to go to next photo in list (You can also use the wheel down for this)
- Slide right to go to previous photo list (You can also use the wheel up for this)
- Slide up to go to last photo in list
- Slide down to go to first photo in list
Hot Spots
- Top left to open a specific folder. Folder navigation is done by sliding up and down and select the <This Folder> to select
- Bottom left to open a specific photo. Again, you can slide up or down or go to a specific folder
- Bottom Right to start/stop slide show mode. Slideshow is 3 seconds. You can change the config file to specify different interval
- Top right to exit
- Right edge of screen to go to next photo in list
- Left edge of screen to go to previous photo list (You can also use the wheel up for this)
- Bottom edge of screen to go to last photo in list
- Top edge of screen to go to first photo in list
Configuration
CEPhotoViewer saves its configuration in CEPhotoViewer.cfg in the same folder as the exe. This file contains the last open folder and the slide show timeout
Startup
- On startup CEPhotoViewer looks for any JPG/BMP/GIF images in the program's folder. Else it prompts you to select a folder. Once selected the config file is created and subsequent runs, it will automatically pickup that folder
Bugs
- CEPhotoViewer uses native microsoft DLL to load a image. Depending on the speed of your CPU, this loading might be slow. Photos resized to the correct size (under 640x480) load pretty quickly. Large (2MP+) photos take a couple of seconds to load. Perhaps someday I will include native JPG loading codeDone
- CEPhotoViewer is built for ARM CPUs only. I can build for other CPUs but dont have a device handy
Looking forward to your comments. Im also working on finishing a MP3 player and a launcher (more appropriate for GPS devices)
Version history
- v0.67 (3/25/2008)
First public release- v0.68 (3/26/2008)
Integrated JPEG processing. Much faster in loading big images (although the size tripled from 20Kb to 60Kb)Added edge hot-spots to navigate in addition to slide gestures
Feature Request
What do you think of adding in touch Pan, Tilt, Zoom, & Rotate? Also, it would be cool if it auto rotated based on the original pictures orientation.
Thanks,
Curious G
i'll give this a shot when i get home

Forgot to mention, pictures are auto-rotated if they can fit better in the screen. Also auto-rotates if you change the display (like when I pull out the keyboard)
Nice but it wouldn't load my actual (2mp) photos. Sliding is a bit slow but very smooth. Wouldn't quit and at some point all corners stopped working.

Loading large images is time consuming, sorry, thats the way microsoft has implemented JPG processing. The corners are not 'not responding', the program is still trying to load the image.
Im trying to compile ijl jpg library that can loaded scaled images, that way I only decompress the size I want
3/26 - Version updated
Guess I'm in the minority who resizes images to fit in PDA screen. Due to popular demand, I have integrated the IJG jpeg library to considerably speed up loading of large images (largely due to internal image scaling)
Also added edge hotspots to navigate images, rather than slides which are bit cumbersome
my personal opinion(i havent seen program YET):
any viewer, that cannot show gif/animgif/png/tga/bmp files is pointless.
it doesn't matter how "touch"-ed it will be.
so - i am gonna update opinion after tests..

It does show gif and bmp. Adding png is trivial (libpng can be compiled easily in CE, both PNG and TIF take about 100Kb each). My intent is to what cover 80% of the people would want.
Just tried it on my Trinity and, while the transition speed is nothing to write home about, the software works. Not sure if i prefer this or S2V, but it has to be said this is a nice application.
Edit
Could do with more space at the top when navigating folders, the directory path disappers under the "This Folder" button.
Please could we have screenshots?

It shows your photo on the full screen, so screenshots are not of any use

The main goal of writing this app was to have it working on all CE devices (including GPS that do not have the .NET framework installed).
Also, there are more transitions than just the slides that are visible when you are in slide-show mode
Amazing Program!!
I've just gotten myself a windows mobile phone. I looked everywhere for a simple photo viewer that could scroll through images by tapping on the left or right of the screen. I didnt understand why resco photoviewer or pqv or any of those other photo viewers didnt have this feature. It was so frustrating.
Also I wanted to browse folders starting at a pre-configured Picture folder. I didnt want the program to go scanning my whole PDA for pics including gifs and pngs for some other softwares.
Finally found this program and I'm really happy.
I wonder if you're still developing this program though? This thread doesnt seem to be active anymore. I hope you'll still continue developing this program.
If you're too busy, I'd be happy to help in some aspects of coding or improving the program. It really is that amazing to me.
Hope this program is still alive.

Glad to hear that this application is working well for you.
I have not stopped development on this, added additional features like PNG, GIF decoding and automatic rotation.
This being a PPC forum, there is not much need for this app since there are multiple options (including built-in applications). I had made this app and many others primarily for GPS and other low end devices without the standard libraries.
I will update this thread with the latest version and also add other applications I have built (including native MP3/OGG player, simple shell, GPS dashboard etc), all totally skinnable and configurable
The program has been amazing. Loads huge pictures with no problem. It's definitely faster than Vito's EyePhoto.
But Coolsva, I have a question. Now call me crazy, but I want to be able to set it up so that when I click a jpg file in file explorer or total commander, it will open up in your photoviewer instead of the windows mobile default viewer (coz it sucks). What're the parameters to do so? I tried the normal parameter "%1" but it doesn't seem to work.
I'm glad you're still working on this program.
Cool program , but zoom would be nice feature

Looks interesting, please do it !
Just now landed at this thread after spending a while checking out google results for "windows mobile picture viewer". Coolsva's prog sounds very worth trying, but I'm wondering if 0.68 is still the latest release?

i think the idea is great! have you seen the iphone interface for ORB.com?? I would love to see one for windows mobile if you get around to it.
Thanks so much for this app i have not had time to test it but noticed no icon file so i made picasa-icon.zip this hope it helps a little
Also added the icon to exe here PocketPicasa.zip
It works great on my HTC Touch XL (P3452).
Of course, the UI is perfectible ... but thank you for this program
Awsome ,I will implement the icons this evening.
UI, what UI I spent 3 hours on the program , I will spend some more time on it tomorrow, this was me learning google api's

Actually, there's two ways around that. WinAmp Mobile works very well (and is free) and does most everything Orb does. Or, if you want to spend $30, Kinoma (which actually uses Orb) is probably the best multimedia program I've used on WM.
Anytime I try to upload it says unexpected error and closes....? Using an AT&T Tilt... On another note the GUI looks awesome icons and everything. I normally change the icons in the start menu the one is the only one that I haven't changed it looks pretty smooth...
Hi Alkhal
Icon thanks to wapvirus . Right down to your problem.
Are you using Email upload or direct Upload?
Email has a draw back that you have to send and receive your email before it shows up in the album.
I can build you a special version to help debug this issue, if you are willing to test it for me?
I guess if you are the only one with problems, the weeks effort was worth it.

I have created different folders to store different pictures. But on this X1, when want to browse the pictures, it will show all of them in one place. It is not like the Touch HD, I get to choose from my storage card and select the folder name for my pictures. Does anyone know the trick ?

I'm having exactly the same issue and and looking for a solution.
quick solution : use another viewer software, or the default windows viewer.
Is there another viewer software, wich running without bugs or lagging?
It should offer the sliding switch function like the iphone or the standard viewer from X1. I mean the picture switch without pressing a button - just sliding with your finger over the display..
Thanksss
Resco photo viewer is the best one out there, not sure if its touch friendly though
I'd like to set "all" as the favorite album in the TF3D photo tab so it just displays all the photos I've taken (I have about 100 pics separated by folder under \storage card\pictures\) The problem is when I do that it puts other pics like the icon's for Angelusz's landscape fix at the top of the thumbs list.
Is there a way to either hide certain album's(folder's) from HTC Album's view, or a way to make it only look at the storage card and not at the phone itself?
if you get an answer.... please repost!!!!
having same issue.
looking to not show in the 'albums' section a specific folder that has images in it.
and in the same token, making these (same) pics not be available through the 'see-all' feature.
trying to not have 'accidental' display of pics no need to make them "hidden-files" because then one wouldn't be able to view them when needing to.
can there be a limit set to the viewer and how 'deep' it searches for images? maybe they can be placed in a series of sub-folders that are so many deep, that the viewer does not look for....?
yeah this is a big problem if you have tomtom because it loads all of those pics

The simplest solution is to change the properties to hiddend for the image files you do not want to see in the tab.
There is also a reg patch to exclude particular folders but i dont know the details

If anyone has more information on this reg patch, I'd like to know more.
Also as Angelusz pointed out to me in another thread the HTCAlbum doesn't search the windows directory, so I've been dumping wallpapers ect. in there whenever I can. The big downside to this is the amount of time it takes the X1 to load the windows directory, especially when your trying out several wallpapers.
Key
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
(if ignored doesn't exist: create it)
Make a new String Value and give it any name
example: igo
set the Data for the new value to the full path of the folder to be ignored
example: \Storage Card\iGO8
(note: all sub-folders will be ignored as well)

Great, thanks for the tip!

Hello -
i tried your suggestion, but it didn't quite work.
i have the HTC fuze -
i created a folder in the storage card called ddd, then went to the registry and followed your suggestion, but when i go to the camera, and select the soft-key for albums, there are some options called "all" and "camera shots" that still reveal the contents of the whole phone. and the folders that contain the images that are to be kept away from accidental viewing, are already located on that folder 'ddd' on the storage card. how do i delete the "all"/"camera shots" feature form the album viewer, or better yet, how do i keep some pictures from coming up in their individual folders in the same viewer.
sorry to be a pest, but if there's anywhere else to get good info on this matter...it'd be here.
thanks for the help!!
works for me, thanks
Hi. I love my HD2. And after customizing it with some of the tweaks found on this forum this phone is near perfect!
I was wondering if there's a tweak or program that makes it possible to download images straight from the HTC Sense facebook album viewer. That way you can easily download images and choose what profile picture your contact has. [as well as download cool pictures to add to your own albums]
Some of my contacts currently use silly images as their profile picture, SPB shell 3.x let you chose what Facebook picture to use. I was hopeing HTC sense would let me do the same.

( I know I can use the Internetbrowser to download pictures, But a program would be so much easier )
