That’s a talk with Google translate’s English exercising program in a self-defined scenario. I corrected only words which were wrongly transcribed and wouldn’t create misunderstandings.
GT: Hey, how’s it going?
I: Things are going very well. I have finished the development of the plugin for a slideshow. I called it a gem plugin. After I have developed it in Chat GPT, but with Chat GPT it comes/came not to the end. And so I give the code to Gemeni and then suddenly a lot of them happens much better.
GT: That’s interesting. So, tell me more about this slideshow plugin. What makes it a “gem?”
I: First of all, from the using it functionality. It needs no background uh settings. There are no settings in the dashboard. All the settings in the front end. All the settings are very simple. And the goal of my uh slideshow has been having a slideshow full over the screen, not having any borders, having any any disturbing menus in the in the screen, having a full screen. And so, next one has been having a zoom mode and having a fade mode. It’s quite enough for viewing a slideshow, especially for pictures, for paintings and also for your traveling just.
Okay, so it’s a full-screen slideshow plugin with zoom and fade effects, and all settings are handled on the front end. That sounds user-friendly. How does it handle different image sizes and resolutions?
Oh, that’s tricky questions. I didn’t think about it because all my pictures are high resolution pictures besides some exemptions, but I don’t think about to restrict the picture size for having a better resolution on the great TV display. I think that’s a question which I didn’t care about. And you ask me the resolution, yes, the resolution I cannot improve. I cannot try to make something artificial intelligence improving of the resolution, that’s too much. I have thousand and thousands pictures and I don’t think about improving the pictures in itself, they has to stay for itself.
Okay, I understand. So the plugin displays the images as they are, without any built-in resizing or resolution enhancement. How does it handle different aspect ratios then?
Oh, the next tricky question. You mean the difference between the landscape view and the person view, I think. Do I?
Yes, that’s what I mean. How does the plugin handle images with different aspect ratios, like landscape versus portrait?
No, I have no special handling of such one. Uh it’s can it’s only very rare from the view having a landscape view. A personal view, of course you have the picture in the middle and left or right you have a bloted border. Uh that cannot be avoided, I do not see any reason to avoid such a thing.
Okay, so it shows portrait images with blurred borders on the sides to fill the screen. Thanks, that makes sense. Is there anything else unique about your plugin?
They get the panels the panel buttons on the right hand. This panel is not visible. Only if I touch my my uh my display, the panel will be visible and then I can uh change the buttons. They are of the following buttons. First button is a time button and the things is running only a little small point green and and and red. Then button for holding on the slideshow and the next button is for changing the mode between fade and motion mode, especially zooming mode at the moment and the motion mode will be developed in the next time. Then came the the button for uh making the full screen, you can all work without full screen, of course. And the most special button is a scale line for uh fixing the development uh fixing the speedness of the show. Uh you can you have a scale which I can continuous uh increase and decrease the the the the speedness, the cycle speedness of the picture.
Okay, so there are hidden panel buttons on the right that appear on touch. It sounds like you have a lot of control over the slideshow speed. What about image transitions?
Yes, the transition I told you, it’s a cross feeding transition if the pictures goes into another over for the pictures, the new picture grows up and the the all of one vanished. That’s a very smooth transition and I don’t think I have it’s necessary having any other transition mode as you have for instance in in the WordPress, not not WordPress, in the in the um how to say the system from Microsoft, I have forgotten the name at the moment. it’s not necessary you have to a lot of such transition was only a slideshow for observing for instance a gallery, a gallery of paintings or the gallery of your traveling pictures, not more, not tricky things for a lecture or something like that.
Okay, so it uses a crossfade transition. It sounds perfect for simple slideshows. Thanks for explaining your plugin. I appreciate it.
