I can attest to the quality of yboris' Video Hub App. It works great!
I know this isn't the place for any of this, but
1) Can you look into the delete functionality when the file is located on a mounted filesystem (I think it might be fusefs? specific scenario uses rclone Google Drive mounts!). I don't think it works with the `trash` module you're using from npm.
A few other ideas/improvements I've had:
- Do not immediately delete metadata if a file is removed. For example, if the hub contains multiple sources, some which may not always be mounted (external drives or cloud drives), deleting metadata may mean that it needs to be re-analyzed when the drive is present again. Maybe a soft-delete of this metadata would be better, so the video is hidden from the library, and then you could have an option to purge historical data periodically / on-demand.
- Option to show the full file-path in one of the gallery views
Thanks!! If I ever get around to it I'll get in touch on gh.
1) Current 'delete' function sends things to the recycling bin (safe!) but does not work on network drives unless you "enable recycling bin on network drives" (some setting on the OS). I have added "dangerously delete file" which does a "rm" command instead - it will be released with version 3 of the app. Until I release, you can just build the current code which has this feature already.
Thank you for the suggestion about file metadata. This discussion is probably better as a GitHub Issue. I'm a little unclear about the scenario you describe. The app will not remove videos from the "hub" even if a source folder (like external drive) is not connected - it will just have a small icon indicating "not connected".
