How to change thumbnail size?

October 11, 2011 by Tole

Let's say that you want to change thumbnails size from 75px to 150px for iPad. Right now you can accomplish it in two easy steps (bellow), but in the future it should be configurable.

Smoother scroll release at last

September 16, 2011 by Tole

This version implements the smooth scroll feature as described in http://www.jaipho.com/content/smoother-scroll-jaipho article. Just for reminder, css translation used for image scroll is now switched to its 3d variant which relies on iPhone 3d graphic processor.

But there is one more, also cool, feature - sticky finger effect (not sure if this is a right name for it). When you move your finger on the screen, the image follows it.
Now it really begins to look like native app.

Smoother scroll on Jaipho

May 28, 2011 by Tole

I was never happy with the smoothness of image scrolling in Jaipho. But the current engine was usable enough, so I was holding the issue to be solved in some better times.

After iPhone 4 was released, I was surprised with bad performance on it too. iOS 4.2 update made things even worse. Image scrolling on iPhone 4 is worse than on any other iPhone!
Recently I started to work on Jaipho 1.0 which should be out in September or October, and the smooth scrolling was one of the first issues to start with.

What is the difference between Jaipho and Pipho?

February 25, 2011 by Tole

Jaipho is the main project that this site is devoted to. It is a javascript gallery optimized for iPhone.
Jaipho is strictly client side technology (Javascript, html, css). It can not read or resize your images from disk. It requires someone else to do all the data preparation. You can type the data manually in html page, or you can use server side scripting language to do it.

iPad version released

September 2, 2010 by Tole

At last, here is the version which works on iPad too. Although iPad is released few months ago, I think it was worth of waiting because there are few another cool features which were many times requested through contact form or comments on articles.
Let's see them one by one.

iPhone 4 feedback request

July 15, 2010 by Tole

I'm currently working on Jaipho version that supports iPad. As iPhone 4 is released in meanwhile, including it in a release seems to be very reasonable.

As I red on the net, there is a certain possibility that Jaipho works just fine on iPhone 4, no matter because they have different screen resolutions. There is a excellent article about iPhone 4 resolution on daring fireball - Why 960×640

Porting Jaipho to iPad

April 19, 2010 by Tole

In last few weeks, there were few inquiries through contact form, regarding the porting Jaipho to work with iPad. Well, I plan to publish iPad release, but I'm heavily loaded with obligations so it will take me at few months to over it.

If you cant wait next release, here is the guide for doing it yourself. I haven't tried it, so there is no demo. Anyway, I think that the basic adaptation shouldn't be so hard.
