UI Issues when "About"-Sidebar is active about lychee-front HOT 11 CLOSED

Duplicate: LycheeOrg/Lychee#37

(I will be honest I am using arrow keys to switch pictures and i to show the info so.. :S)

It's not only about the buttons in the issue, it is also about the image not being resized and centred but overlapped by the active sidebar. So please at least open that part again .. hehe.

it is also about the image not being resized and centred but overlapped by the active sidebar.

I'd say the two are linked.

"GRBLLLL" LOL... sorry :-P

I wouldn't say that they are linked. Compare behaviour of the settings sidebar moving the main content area to the right, and the "About"-Sidebar overlapping the content area. I think the behaviour of sidebars should be consistent. :-)

TBH, I don't mind the overlapping of the content area in the sense that it changes "less" the visual that completely resizing the picture.

Small display, big images, whatever, you wanna fast step through images with Information sidebar open and always the right part of an image is cutted. I don't think that is good for every user. Just my 2 cent.

I think there's an expectations issue here. I've always thought of the sidebar of a sort of overlay (so overlapping), but I'm inclined to lean towards it being a sidebar (so not overlapping). The former lends itself more to quickly looking at the info for a photo as you think "Oh, I wonder..." whereas the latter lends itself more to being open all the time (or toggled on for multiple photos).

I don't have any strong opinions either way, but I think it's a design decision to be made rather than a definite problem to be fixed.

I called it "issue" not problem or bug exactly because of that, but I strongly thing sidebar behaviour should be consistence. It makes more sense to have the info sidebar NOT overlapping as you still use "both" areas (main content & sidebar) but the settings sidebar.

from lychee-front.

Perhaps. Though I'm not sure how relevant this is as the two sidebars can't be displayed at the same time (Not that I'd be against being able to show the left bar at any time...). As it's temporary (it doesn't stay open and in the way) I also wouldn't be against flipping this so that the left sidebar overlapped the content too.

At this point I think I'll step back as I think I'm only adding confusion!

I just submitted a PR that should make it all consistent: no content overlap in any of the albums/album/photo views, irrespective of the layout used for the album view. Right now we have this inconsistent... mess that, IMHO, is more of an emergent behavior from a series of patches piled on top of each other than a result of conscious design decisions. In particular, justified layout was the only one where the sidebar would overlap photos in album view, but even that seemed accidental (e.g., try to resize the window in that situtation and see what happens).
