What’s New in ownCloud 5 Community: Enhanced, Simplified Photo Gallery

Today I’d like to talk about our completely rewritten Photo Gallery.

With the exciting launch of ownCloud Community 5, I wanted to take a few minutes to discuss some of the more exciting features. Last week, I wrote about the cool new Design, today, I’d like to talk about our completely rewritten Photo Gallery.

The new photo app is very simple – even the view is simplified – allowing users to completely focus on their pictures. See thumbnails simply by hovering over folders, no need to click into a folder just to see the contents. And when it comes to viewing pictures, that has never been simpler. Simply click on a picture, manually (with mouse or arrow keys) scroll through the photos, or simply click play (and pause) to have the pictures scroll automatically in a slideshow.

Alt Text for Every Image. No Manual Work. No Excuses.

Missing alt text is one of the most commonly flagged WCAG failures. EN 301 549 mandates it for public sector ICT across Europe. As of today, oCIS ships an extension that generates a credible first draft with your configured vision LLM, lets the user edit it, and writes it back to the file as a WebDAV property that survives the session. A meaningful compliance tool, not just a convenience feature.
