Boris - what I'm working on

[whyboris]

This is a small experiment to see if it's useful to have a public-facing "what I'm working on" on this list.

This is a place to be more transparent about what tasks I'm thinking of working on next. It's also a discussion - so please let me know if something should be a higher priority. I'm also happy to let anyone take over any task if it's of interest to them 🙇

My aim is to always do all the code review before starting / resuming on my own coding.

Currently on my todo list in priority order (more will be added as I complete these):

• Details view - where tags (and more-detailed information about the video) will live Details view #100
• Adding & filtering tags once the Details view is merged to master Manual Tagging! #53
• Adding other fields (number of times viewed, star rating, date added) and associated filters
• Sorting by above-added filters Sorting Options! #86 Sorting by recently added #80

I've just made a project (https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/projects/1) for this purpose! It seems to fit pretty well for this idea - which method do you prefer? 💡

[whyboris]

I'll keep both for some time and we'll see together which we like best 👍

Even if an issue tracker / project board adds an extra step we need to do, there's some psychological satisfaction (at least I get) to putting check marks on checkboxes, or moving items along a Trello-like board 😅

Haha, I know what you mean! 😂

Small additions:

• Add width and height fields to ImageElement, removing the hardcoded ResolutionString - meanwhile, also insert a temporary field for resolution (so as to compute it once: on-file-open, not every time: on-view). Also insert temporary field for resolution category (so the resolution filter service isn't crunching through switch/case every time.
• Make the ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ freshly-added star rating remain after scrolling away and scrolling back; Confirm that scrolling away and coming back doesn't remove the newly-added tags (reconcile if/why behavior different)

[whyboris]

Another good task I'll take care of:

• consider passing in the ImageElement rather than individual pieces of information into each component in the gallery

[whyboris]

This PR addresses many of the above tasks on my todo list 👍 #108

[whyboris]

Minor tasks from #86

• Add Date Added field (when added to the hub), and/or
• Add Date Created field (read file metadata)
• Add Number of Times Played field
• Add accompanying sorting options (and one for stars)

I'm giving Projects a try: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/projects/2

I like projects a lot to keep my to do list organized. I'll use that instead of this issue.

I'll close this issue as soon as I implement the number of times played and stars sorting options.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to comment but I can't find the option to sort by anything but duration and size. I too would love to sort by recently added and file modification date.

[whyboris]

It's not obvious where the settings for that are.
Please go to settings, click on the Search settings tab, and scroll to the bottom.
The next-to-last section, titled "Show or hide various sorting options in the dropdown" allows you to enable other sort options besides the default few.

ps -- I'm thinking of including 'sort alphabetical' option before version 2 release 🙌

[theotherp]

Ohhh. Yes, that's indeed well hidden! Thanks.

Thank you for the note -- I'll make sure to make features more visible (likely through a website Features section)
