Favorite function for images

[dosmehobbit]

Is it possible to have a 'Favorite' function, e.g. with stars/hearts or so? It would make rating of pictures possible.

Favorite in albums you created? or in device gallery?

In created albums would be great.

And maybe a filter function for favs.

Will this favorite sync with Nextcloud file favorite?
What the primary use for favorite? Rating? Screening for great photos?
Who can set favorite? The owner or those who have the shared?

My 2 cents:

Who can set favorite? The owner or those who have the shared?

I think both use cases are valid. I'd like to track my own favorites in an Album so I can quickly find them. And if I've shared an album, I'd like to see other's favorites.

My guess is implementing "my own favorites" would be easier as it can use the built-in nextcloud favorite.

What the primary use for favorite? Rating? Screening for great photos?

My use case is to mark and then quickly retrieve top (favorite) photos.

Will this favorite sync with Nextcloud file favorite?

For "my own favorites" I think syncing with Nextcloud favorite makes sense, and is hopefully easier to implement.

For sharing favorites with others, does the Nextcloud API support querying whether user 1234 has favorited a specific file?

And quick thoughts on UX:

Hm would be a benefit for option with personal-favorite

What the primary use for favorite? Rating? Screening for great photos?

Screening for great photos, I would say.

Who can set favorite? The owner or those who have the shared?

Both would be good. Maybe configurable in album?
