Lumen Gallery 1.0.1
- Animals in art can be hidden. A new setting, on by default like People in art: works whose title or description mentions an animal, bird, fish, insect or other creature are left out. It is text-based, so one can slip through; see Hide below.
- Quick actions. Press Down for Previous, Like / Unlike, Hide and Next. Hide removes that picture for good (Show hidden pictures again in the settings brings them back).
- Change the picture from the sides. Left and Right still work; with the Magic Remote, arrows appear at the left and right edges.
Install: download com.ammar027.lumen.gallery_1.0.1_all.ipk below, then use Dev Manager Desktop (add your TV, open Apps, drop the file in) or ares-install --device lgtv com.ammar027.lumen.gallery_1.0.1_all.ipk.
As the TV screensaver it needs the Homebrew Channel and the watcher script from Lumen. Tested on an LG 65UQ8040PSB (webOS 22).
