Just some concept art... oh wait, those are screenshots

Presenting...
TruPhoto - A whole new way to look.

There's no readme included, basically because I'm too lazy after finishing this. So listen up close if you wanna know what you are doing.

TruPhoto is intended to eventually be able to completely replace the built-in photo viewer. At this point, the only feature it doesn't have that the official one does is setting a wallpaper (I plan to accomplish this soon). It is built "around the idea that photo viewing and manipulation should be intuitive and realistic.

Use the on-screen pointer (which will also be compatible with the touchscreen once available) to grab and drag your photos around the screen. The pointer is controlled by the analog stick and grip is controlled by X. You can zoom in (circle) and out (triangle) and straighten (square) your photos.

One thing you may notice in the screenshot is a dock. "What do these do and how do they work?" I'll tell you.

These icons react to different actions.

Clicking on HOME will return you to your default album.

Dragging a photo on VIEW will bring focus to that photo. Dragging an album on VIEW will open that album.

Dragging a photo to INFO will information on that photo.

Dragging anything onto HIDE will put it away into the box. Clicking the box will empty it back onto the table.

Clicking HELP will refresh you on the controls.

"How do I add photos/albums to TruPhoto?" This is the easy part. Each folder within the "ms0:/PICTURE" folder is treated as an album. Every PNG and JPG photo within your albums is automatically loaded when you load TruPhoto.

"How do I change the default blue table to my own photo like in the second screenshot?" Simple. Add your PNG photo to the TruPhoto folder and name it "bg.png"

Any questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy,

looks really good mate

reminds me of one of the PS3's slideshow options..

**COLINx86** · 08-19-2008, 08:07 PM

Nice! pretty cool app.

**nicodemus82** · 08-19-2008, 10:10 PM

could u possibly have it load pics from the "PICTURE" folder? that would be great

Sure thing, is that ms0:/PICTURE or ms0:/PSP/PHOTO?

**M33_User** · 08-19-2008, 10:37 PM

Looks great. It will go good along with the Music Player.

Both?

I was asking which one was preferred, not where it is. The home folder can only be in one place, so I need to know what folder people would prefer it as.

**wicked_fable** · 08-19-2008, 11:46 PM

Tough call, but I'd pick MS0:/PICTURE as it is so easy to connect my PSP and just dump whatever I need in it.

**Da_MerV** · 08-20-2008, 12:21 AM

Alright, I'll`compile a quick mod in the morning for the default home directory.

**seanpaul223** · 08-20-2008, 12:41 AM

I do love this. Thanks.

Metezuko · 08-20-2008, 01:36 AM

So this is the secret app, very cool.

**Nielkie** · 08-20-2008, 01:37 AM

Why bytecode it?

I would imagine this app would have a lot of helpful code.

Maybe to improve excecution speed since it can encode nesting depths and the scope of certain objects a bit quicker.

**McCabe** · 08-20-2008, 02:19 AM

wow just wow!

I so want you to combine this and truflow to make a shell!

If you consider it, I would love to help graphics and ideas wise

**PSProgramer** · 08-20-2008, 02:19 AM

Dang man, all of these really good releases by everyone at like the same time, is pretty intimidating. But nice work, man. A very Original app if you ask me,

keep it up.

Apps in Lua, as with most scripting languages, are bytecompiled upon execution.

The only speed advantage would be a saving few millisecounds when it is loading.

**Oblivion40** · 08-20-2008, 05:29 AM

hey u released it ^_^ nice work m8

- i knew what this was but i still didnt expect anythin so awesome

**MiKeY188** · 08-20-2008, 06:15 AM

I would prefer MS0:/PICTURE as that's where all my other picture folders are.
thnx and great work I love this little app

it would be awesome if there was a plugin that would allow u to launch this from the "Photo" icon in the XMB

Oh, I see now. I thought it would have something to do with the way the pics are handled.

Because when I released TruFlow, people were messing with the code to try and "fix" it. TruPhoto, like TruFlow, contains a HUGE amount of math, all of which I came up with. My policy for source code, and this goes for all my releases as I strongly support open source, if you want any part of the code, PM me and I will personally send you that part of code. This allows me to monitor where my code is going and lets me make sure proper credits are given.

Thanks everyone for your support, and I will post that mod shortly.

**TurtlesPwn** · 08-20-2008, 02:14 PM

The only huge amount of math I can see this requiring is a little bit of trigonometry for rotating the photos.....

For the realistic dragging, there is more trig. Also, TruFlow calculates all the vertices, it uses no 3D.

**TurtlesPwn** · 08-20-2008, 02:45 PM

Ah so it drags around the point where you click down then. That would need a good bit of math. Point taken.

And using trig to do the rotation wouldn't use 3d anyways.....

**PirataNervo** · 08-20-2008, 03:26 PM

wow this looks pretty cool.
very good job

and good luck with the competition

**Da_MerV** · 08-20-2008, 06:00 PM

Just uploaded the mod. Sorry it took so long, I got kinda caught up in some paperwork. Check the first post for the download.
