Description krug.b 2024-09-16 09:48:22 UTC

Very experienced development team, 

I would like to have a function for the Digikam application that allows me to view only the images in my collection across all operating systems. 

A web service in a browser, so to speak, or a stand-alone app for IOS and/or Android. 

The application can also have a filter option to select tags (for example, faces, locations, time or multiple filter options). 

When I open the Digikam application on my iPad or iPhone (I have Digikam running on a Synology NAS in Docker), I don't need all the administrative things, I just want to be able to view images and search for specific criteria if necessary. 
The application would also be very helpful for my parents, for example, who just want to look and search for specific images if necessary. 

Do you think such a (view only) option would be possible in the near future or does such an option already exist...?! 
I have not been able to find a corresponding function or description in the documentation. 

Kind regards 
Benjamin Krug

Hi

We have an already existing plugin using UPNP/DLNA support for that.

Look here : https://docs.digikam.org/en/post_processing/media_server.html

It's not perfect and do not cover all your wishes, but it's a first start?

Best
