Naming the photo frame integration

void horizon
#

One more proposal, thumbs up this message to vote for it:

  • Collection image
dense geyser
#

May I add one proposal @void horizon (And vote on it ๐Ÿ˜…)

void horizon
#

Yes, why not.

dense geyser
#

One more proposal, thumbs up this message to vote for it:

  • Random image
hasty pewter
#

I at one point considered that (random), but I don't think it necessarily has to be random. Like I would assume there will also be a select image service, where you can pick a specific image.
I think if you make that the name it becomes restrictive.

dense geyser
#

I just read the PR

#

A single shuffle service ๐Ÿ˜…

hasty pewter
#

Well yes that's because we're not allowed to add anything to start with ๐Ÿ˜‚
supposed to be barebones
But yes, I haven't mapped out exactly everything that this intended to support longterm yet.

dense geyser
#

random image ๐Ÿ˜„

#

(joke)

#

Of course if you have other plan then it makes no sense, agreed

Poll: Naming the photo frame integration

dense geyser
#

(That GIF is bad I just saw he's clearly dubbing "Shut up" ๐Ÿ™ˆ Sorry)

#

One thing for sure: it should not be named "photo frame", as that's just one example use case of this integration.

hasty pewter
#

Have you other use cases in mind? Like I think that just covers "displaying an image", but are you thinking of a different case?

patent storm
#

Image can be anything, not just "photos". It can be displayed on many things, not just "frames".

hasty pewter
#

Ok, I can see that the word photo may be considered an unnecessarily restrictive subset of image.

drifting kraken
#

Same as the "frame" sounds restrictive

#

IMHO it is a media collection

#

it is picked from the media browser

#

as a matter of fact, could as well be a folder in there

#

or a favorites collection

#

or anything else

#

Eventhough it is the highest votes right now, I'm pretty strongly against Photo Frame as that is representing a physical devices users have an idea on what such a thing looks like... which this is not.

dense geyser
#

Agreed about that part yeah
I would also love the if the name convey the fact you get only one element of that collection.
Hence my proposal of Random image but now that understand it could very well be not random the name does not really work

I don't really like collection personally just because I would assume I can like .. browse it....

drifting kraken
#

Yeah... I wonder if we should explore this from a favorites/collections capability of the media browser instead

#

as in, would be great if those could be made in general

hasty pewter
#

๐Ÿซ  I'm not sure I follow where you're going with that. Do we still want this to create an image entity, or is that not certain?

solid valve
#

instead of "Image collection", call it "Collection image", so that it does not sound like it is a collection

#

(in reply to JLo's concern about browsing it)

#

and I removed my votes because I agree with JLo, "Image Collection", "Picture Album" etc make it sound like it is a collection of things

void horizon
#

I deleted the poll since this derailed

#

Naming the photo frame integration

dense geyser
#

Poor Erik. Sorry I started the derailing. Iโ€™m the derailer

void horizon
#

@drifting kraken So, it's soon been 2 weeks since you stepped in here. Do you have a name yet?

drifting kraken
#

uh?

#

I need to decide that?

#

Let's me put it on the Core meeting agenda of today

void horizon
#

Yeah. You said no. You can't just say no, you need to propose something; same rule as when choosing where to eat.

drifting kraken
#

You can't just say no, you need to propose something
Sorry, that is not what I said. I wrote I'm strongly against

#

I also do not agree on that I need to propose somehting just because I shared my view on things

#

I've added it to the agenda today, let discuss it further there
