What’s New

Version 2.0.1

Important Note:
1. A local item will be deleted when you delete its copy from the Synology Photos mobile app. However, if you delete the item directly from your phone's built-in app, the copy will still exist on your Synology NAS.
2. Changes to "Free Up Space” feature:
- once a file is backed up or uploaded to Synology NAS, Synology Photos flags it as ready to be freed up from your phone.
- if you move the file's copy on Synology NAS to a different Space, you won’t be able to free up the original file from your phone.
3. For users updating from version 1.5: Updating to this version will not trigger duplicating files due to renaming or moving them to a different Space.
4. For users updating from version 2.0: If you have previously renamed the files or moved them to another Space, to prevent them from being backed up again and creating duplicated files, turn off the photo backup. Re-enable it and choose "back up new photos only”.

What's New:
1. Supports viewing all photos, regardless of whether they are backed up or not, in the mobile app after backup is enabled.
2. Supports backing up modified photos again to keep all changes after backup is enabled.
3. Supports the notification for out-of-sync changes on the Synology Photos mobile app when moving photos to another Space or deleting them from File Station, Synology Photos web portal, SMB, etc.
4. Supports backing up and uploading multiple files at the same time for better efficiency.
5. Supports different backup options:
- Back up new photos only: Back up photos and videos taken from now on. Changes made to previous items will also be backed up as new files.
- Resume tasks: Continue the progress of the last backup task. Changes made to previous photos will be backed up as new files.
- Scan and back up all photos: If backed-up items have been moved to another Space, renamed, or deleted from Synology NAS, they will be backed up again. You may need to sign out of the Synology Photos mobile app and sign in again to select this option.

Fixed Issues:
1. Fixed an issue where a download might not be successful if you leave lightbox mode before it completes.
2. Fixed an issue where the limit of the cache size might be exceeded.
3. Fixed an issue when updating to version 2.0 where crash might happen unexpectedly.

Improvement requests

The UI is basically very good, but there are a few missing features that major app can do but this app cannot... •I'd like to be able to upload automatically in the background when connected to wifi without opening the app. •It's very inconvenient to have to keep the app open to upload photos. •Every time I open a shared album, it loads and takes a long time. •I'd like to be able to set favorites(♡) for photos and share favorites in a shared folder, and it would be even better if it could automatically import favorites set on the iPhone like amazon photo. ・The sort order of the photos in the shared album is reset every time I open the app.

Google Photoの代わりと考えている方。代わりにはなりませんよ

前身?のMomentsに比べれば速さ、軽さともに向上して使いやすくなっているが、アプリのバックグラウンド動作がしない為 バックアップは異常な位時間がかかる。 何故バックグラウンド動作をされるよう改善しないのか疑問です。 あと、アプリで出来ないことが多すぎです。 ・並び替えの類は一切できない。(日付も名前順も) →v1.5.0-376でできるようになってました ・アプリの検索は日付を対象としていない。 その為、過去の特定の日付を写真達を見たい場合、スクロールでしか特定の日付の写真に到達できない。 スクロール中は日付が表示されない為、何度か写真を開いて日付を確認しないと、任意の日付に到達できてるか分からない。 ・画像の回転や色調変更と言った編集は一切できない →バージョンが上がって回転はできるようになりましたね。 ・アプリがすぐ落ちる。データの読み込みに時間がかかると落ちる事が多い。 ・バックグラウンド動作しない。 フォアグラウンド動作させていても結局アプリが落ち易いのでバックアップが延々終わらない。 ・重複ファイルがアプリで表示されない。 ・ゴミ箱や、削除したファイルを管理する機能がPhotos自体には無い。よって削除されたファイルを確認するにはFile StationやDS Mobileで#recycleを見る事になる。Google Photoなどの写真管理を見習って欲しい。 ・条件付きアルバムが作成できるが、条件外の任意の写真を追加することができない (例:条件を子供にしていても、子供と認識されない写真は自動追加されないので、手動で追加しようとしてもできない。Google Photoはできる) つくづく、Googleフォトって素晴らしいなと思いました。

2024/01/23追加
Ver 2.0.0になってからiPhoneカメラロールにある写真全てをバックアップし始めました。Synology Photosにバックアップ済みの写真も含めてです。(11万枚程)
データベースの更新をしているらしいので諦めてバックアップを見守っていましたが、バックアップが完了しても、また次の日には全件(11万枚程)バックアップをし始めました。(1/24時点で3回バックアップをしている)

おかしくなってませんか?

Request for improvement of map function

Thank you for the update, which improved the behavior of the app. On that basis, I would like to make a few more requests. I am using the map function to find photos. But, I am not satisfied with the map function, please do not make groups of photos in automatic and collect as one point on the map. You know, on the map, the display of the number of photos taken is not important that much. To use the map function as filters, the location points where the photo was taken is the most important things! Photos taken in nearby, but different buildings will be sorted into the same group in automatic. Please improve to show the location in one photo one point, and please make it possible to filter by screen zoom. like google maps do.
