A very simple and responsive web client that tries to mimic the Shotwell interface with infinite scroll and event views. It will connect to the application's SQLite database to find photos and use the already generated thumbnails without modifying or creating anything. It streams both photos and videos.
Uses Flask, Bootstrap, jQuery, Justified Gallery and Swipebox.
pip install git+https://github.com/vmassuchetto/shotwell-web-client.git
shotwell-web-client
The user that will execute the web server must have access to the database, photos and thumbnails.
Check the config.py file if your Shotwell installation requires different paths.
DATABASE = "~/.local/share/shotwell/data/photo.db" # database path
THUMBPATH = "~/.cache/shotwell/thumbs/" # thumbnails path
LOAD = 25 # images to load on scroll
