Request or... is there already a module like this? Showing pictures from an folder.
-
Is there a module where you can have pictures/files in a folder an click to open one of them and see it and then click to close it again? Think about files in pdf and jpg.
If there is no module like this, anyone interested in making one?
-
@Manino there are plenty that show pictures from a folder I use one.
but click on them is a different thing because MagicMirror is an output only information panel, so there’s no click, as there’s no mouse in 99% of the implementations. it’s not intended to be interactive
-
@sdetweil It’s not possible with an touchscreen either? It’s a thing called “popover” in the CalendarExt3 module, maybe it could work like that? I’ll show a picture. The “popover” show up when I click an event in the CalendarExt3.

@Manino I didn’t say it wasn’t possible but I said was generally that’s not the way you would use magic mirror Yes there are a few modules that are pushing the edge but it’s not a general thing
what you want is some kind of preview of the images that you can then click on. most of the modules just display the images one at a time That’s the way I use it as the background but I have no need for fingerprints all over my mirror
-
@sdetweil Yes that’s correct, I wan’t an preview of the image to click on. Either an folder or just pictures you can make bigger by click on it.
I don’t use the display with an mirror, so fingerprints wouldn’t be a problem for me.
Maybe I have to make more pages and add big pictures instead.
-
@Manino The popover is a new feature in the latest version of the browser it wasn’t there before this year
-
@sdetweil It was a great upgrade
