HTTP File Server Pro - make images bigger

[chaoscreater]

Came up with my own solution!

I created a userscript (with the help of ChatGPT) to modify the elements on the page. To use this, just download something like ViolentMonkey or Tampermonkey and load this userscript:

https://pastebin.com/eZYxmhj6

Note that the match is set to https://*:8080/files/DCIM/*. If you're using a different port for your HTTP File Server, then change it to use that port. The script basically kicks in whenever you browse to the DCIM folder on your HTTP File Server.

The script sets the default zoom level on the images to 100%, which is much bigger than the default zoom level. It also gives you an option to adjust the zoom level using the slider at the bottom left, or you can set the zoom % in the text box. These settings will be saved even if the page is refreshed.

The preview tickbox can be used to toggle between the preview lower quality images, or the original image. By default, HTTP File Server display preview quality image, which I don't like. I think the main reason for this is for speed & performance. If you have thousands of images, then loading the original quality will make the page slow. You can toggle between preview and no-preview and the images will update accordingly.

P.S - I'm not a developer at all, I barely know Javascript. ChatGPT did most of the heavy lifting, so please don't expect me to update the code or whatever, I'm just sharing this as I found it useful and thought it might help someone.

Hi,

In case you have any further questions or suggestions, there is an email listed on the about page of HTTP File Server (near the bottom) as well as on the Google Play page.

Having bigger preview images is on my to-do list, as well as implementing a gallery view that allows browsing the images on full screen in chronological order. Thank you for the suggestion on how the previews might behave. Your script looks nice, especially considering it was made using ChatGPT. I will probably add a setting for preview quality into the app settings instead of web UI though, so you can have bigger and less pixelated previews while still saving bandwidth.

I'm closing this issue because it is unrelated to the project, but I will still post an update here when your request gets implemented.
