Stuck on splash screen about imagegrid

[flynx]

My bad, I misread your original message, sorry....

You are slightly on the wrong track here, the magic words are not:

npm install
npm start

They are:

make run

...this is still a bug on my part, I should make npm complain explicitly ;) (FIXED: 323e1a9)

And as I said before, the initial build/run are a bit more complicated than they could be at this point, and I'm literally working on it =)

---

P.S. you are still likely to run into some issues, you'll need sed, fgrep and printf on your system, then make help and make check will be able to help...

[flynx]

Hi,

Now most of the issues with the setup/build should be fixed, tell me how it goes, if all is well this issue should be resolved =)

---

P.S. we're still not compatible with electron v10 but make should now know how to take care of that.

[flynx]

Just reworked this some days ago -- now make run should do everything (tested on both Fedora and Windows)...

...if a clean make run gets confused run make dev before it...

Tell me if it runs now?

[flynx]

Hi,

There are two common issues with startup:

• a feature misbehaved on start -- this should be addressed by a watchdog that will start devtools in 5 seconds and force app startup in 15sec. if this does not happen then it's almost definitely the next issue:

• the "sharp" module either failed to compile or compiled for the wrong version of node than the one used by electron, seg-faulting and taking down the UI thread -- you can either delete it (node_modules/sharp) and start the app without it, you'll lose the ability to generate full indexes with previews but you will be able to run the app and test out most of it... or you can try and semi-manually recompele the module by running electron-rebuild...

Tell me how it goes)

...I'm currently working on parts of the "external UX" so things may/will misbehave and there are several drastic changes coming in the following weeks :)

Thanks for such a fast response.
I found that I need to install electron globally becouse of Makefile trying to catch it this way so I used the command:
sudo npm install -g electron --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
then ...
make check
Everething appears to be ok.

Still got the same Issue, stuck on splash screen after make run.
Electron-rebuild finishing with errors using default settings.

Have no succes even after rebuild with command that i found inside the 'Makefile' document with a little modification.

sudo npm i -g electron electron-rebuild asar less --unsafe-perm=true
No errors but still no results.

Hi,

This is not an answer yet, just an update....

Took me some time but I think I'm able to reproduce the error.

Can you give me the electron versions you are using:
$ electron -v
and
$ ./node_modules/.bin/electron -v
(Note that they can be and likely are different)

and just n case also:
$ node -v

---

UPDATE: as a temporary (older version of electron) fix this should help:

$ rm -rf ./node_modules/
$ git pull
$ make run

...tell me if it does =)

[flynx]

Since I can no longer reproduce this issue I'm counting it as closed.

If there is a confirmed fail case I'll re-open it.

[wotori]

still don't work out of the box.

% git clone https://github.com/flynx/ImageGrid/
% cd ImageGrid/Viewer/
% npm install
% make run

If I press the splash screen It closes and several errors in console window appears

Any suggestions?

Node v16.13.2
Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

Update:

% make check

tried under zsh and bash

Update:

tried with all this node versions and still no success

         v4.9.1
->      v8.17.0
       v12.22.9
       v14.18.3
       v16.13.2

[wotori]

If`s finally works!
Thanks Alexander.
For a long time wish to try your tool.
Now I have to figure out how to import images... ))

update:
drag&drop does the import trick

[flynx]

Drag&drop is not a very good idea in the app, at this point -- If I remember correctly, ig will not pickup the image path this way (d&d was implemented for the browser quite a long time ago)....

To open a directory:

Use the hamburger menu is top-left -> File -> Browse file system... or simply hit O in the main window (i.e. [O]pen)

To access the opened path history type ctrl-h

P.S. note the keyboard shortcut hints in the menu and for a more extensive keyboard shortcut list type ? in the main window....

[flynx]

If I remember correctly, ig will not pickup the image path this way (d&d was implemented for the browser quite a long time ago)....

...just checked, yep, the app does not pickup the base path of dropped set of images, need to think about this...
