Only a short video to show, what I currently try to do :-)

Hello everybody
This time no (direct) question, and no script.   ;D
I'll send you a link to a video of me, what I'm currently "working on" and what kind of problems I have.
It's still the timeline-script, but a bit changed.

Some may like it, others think it is too much or awful.
I personally like it.
At the start I show that I just select some pictures in IMatch. Then I start the app and the browser opens like in the video.

The video (about 3.30 min) shows most of the script.

Remarks:
- at the top of the text (last line red) it shows the focused image and 4 random images of the selection. These random numbers are not well solved yet, from time to time the numbers show 0-0-0-0, so I just refresh at the beginning, every time there are new random numbers, which you can see flashing later in the image.
This may have something to do with the "async-mode", I have to work on that.

- You should see the timeline and the pictures in the movie

- At the moment I have set 3 different music tracks, you start them by clicking on ahem, different areas in the sky. I want to improve this, e.g. the author and title should light up for about 5 seconds when you select it, but I haven't managed that yet. So it is not quite clear yet.

- Then a total of 5 different pictures of the selection light up, 1 x the focused picture and 4 random pictures. I have to make sure that these keyframes don't use too much memory to make everything run more smoothly.

- And maybe I'll manage to add some nice animations from time to time (e.g. star showers).

Well, as I said, it's all a bit much "game", but I like it and I'm actually learning a lot.


IF somebody is interested in the script, he can write it here, then I try to make remarks in english in the code.
And yes, I know for sure, that the code is not good (for experts), but at least it works here and with IMatch2020 and IMatch 2019.  :)
Then I would upload the app sometime, but that would take a few days or weeks, because such things always take me a bit long.

For those who take the trouble to watch the little movie, have fun and don't get scared, there is something "playful" about it.
Oh, and of course, if someone has an additional idea, you are welcome ...  8)

Oh Markus... look how our little Timeline app has grown up into something so very cool!  I love the way you've integrated the timeline into a movie - the type of thing that can be shared with family and friends...

Very cool indeed my friend.... thx for sharing!

Thanks, Andy
, for your kind words.
You are correct, our or better your timeline :D is the basic for all this stuff.  :)
Without you: no timeline!  8)

And yes, it looks quite nice, though it is not finished.
But it is really cool, that I can select some files in IMatch, let run the App and has such a result!
Best wishes from Switzerland! :-)
