An upgrade to the image album plugin. Now with optional tag filtering, captions, image adjustments, and color presets.
- Connects to image albums on your Raspberry Pi
- Loads album names dynamically
- Loads tag suggestions dynamically
- Optional tag filtering
- Optional caption overlay from:
- IPTC image metadata
- Image enhancement controls
- Color presets support via
lut.json
- Install the plugin using the InkyPi CLI, providing the plugin ID & GitHub repository URL:
inkypi plugin install inky_gallery https://github.com/doowylloh88/InkyPi-Inky-Gallery- Enter your Image Folder Name. Images / Photos must be located in one of the following folders in the root directory. You can uses sub-folders too. Software like Cyberduck is great for transfering photos to a Pi
-
/Pictures -
/images -
/media -
/photos
-
The plugin searches for albums and tags. If you add / delete tags just click "Browse" and select the folder again and the plugin will repopulate the tags.
-
Optionally enter a tag filter (Note: png files don't carry over tags)
-
Optionally enable captions. Note: Captions need to be in [ ] for the plugin to display them. For example,
[family]or[mountans] -
Optionally choose a LUT / color preset from the drop-down
-
The plugin fetches a random image in the album, processes it, and returns it for display
- The LUTs / color presets can be edited in the lut.json file
- (Optional) To save space on the Rasberry Pi, pre-process all images with 800 px width and 150 DPI using your favorite photo editing software
- Some of the presets are based on Inky Photo Frame I highly suggest you tweak them based on your Spectra6's screen
- The sliders for saturation, brightness, etc. will carry over to the main settings screen, but they will not be saved. I haven’t found a way around that yet. They also do not seem to affect other modules
- Speaking of sliding, this plug-in was 100% created using vibe- coding & a lot of yelling at ChatGPT. An actual coder should take over the project to maintain it
