## Features Aves can handle all sorts of images and videos, including your typical JPEGs and MP4s, but also more exotic things like **multi-page TIFFs, SVGs, old AVIs and more**! It scans your media collection to identify **motion photos**, **panoramas** (aka photo spheres), **360° videos**, as well as **GeoTIFF** files. **Navigation and search** is an important part of Aves. The goal is for users to easily flow from albums to photos to tags to maps, etc. Aves integrates with Android (from **API 19 to 32**, i.e. from KitKat to Android 12L) with features such as **app shortcuts** and **global search** handling. It also works as a **media viewer and picker**. ## Screenshots

## Changelog The list of changes for past and future releases is available [here](https://github.com/deckerst/aves/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md). ## Permissions Aves requires a few permissions to do its job: - **read contents of shared storage**: the app only accesses media files, and modifying them requires explicit access grants from the user, - **read locations from media collection**: necessary to display the media coordinates, and to group them by country (via reverse geocoding), - **have network access**: necessary for the map view, and most likely for precise reverse geocoding too, - **view network connections**: checking for connection states allows Aves to gracefully degrade features that depend on internet. ## Contributing ### Issues [Bug reports](https://github.com/deckerst/aves/issues/new?assignees=&labels=type%3Abug&template=bug_report.md&title=) and [feature requests](https://github.com/deckerst/aves/issues/new?assignees=&labels=type%3Afeature&template=feature_request.md&title=) are welcome.

English, Korean and French are already handled by me.

It should contain a reference to a keystore for app signing, and other necessary credentials. See [key_template.properties](https://github.com/deckerst/aves/blob/develop/android/key_template.properties) for the expected keys. To run the app: ``` # flutter run -t lib/main_play.dart --flavor play ``` To run the app on API 19 emulators: ``` # flutter run -t lib/main_play.dart --flavor play --enable-software-rendering ``` [Version badge]: https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/deckerst/aves?include_prereleases&sort=semver [Build badge]: https://img.shields.io/github/workflow/status/deckerst/aves/Quality%20check
