  • #21 updated missing italian and japanese translations via crowdwin by "random_r" and "naofum".
  • #54 replaced android-s mediaDB-thumbnails with Sergey Tarasevich's Android-Universal-Image-Loader https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader
    • Settings View: Thumbnail folder defines the filesystem's directory where precalculated-mini-images (thumbnails) are stored and loaded from.
  • #53 performance/quality/thumbnail optimisation for Image-View (improving #10 and #39)
    • There is a new setting Big photo width/height optimisation for Image-View
    • Loading #10 high resolution photos into Image-View may need up to 1,5 seconds thus preventing fast swiping through the images.
    • APhotoManager can load precalculated downscaled mini-versions (a. k. a. thumbnails) which is much faster (< 0.1 seconds) so swiping is possible again.
    • If the photo is bigger than Big-photo-width-height-value then it uses thumbnails to allow fast swiping.
    • Thumbnails means memoryefficient, fast, but lower-quality.
    • As soon as you zoom the full resolution image is loaded.
