And while I’m at it: some RFEs/suggestions:

  • When I use Chrome on my Android 16 phone to add new items, uploading pictures from the camera (ie directly taking a pic during the upload), does sadly not allow me to edit the pic before the upload (rotation, filesize/resolution, cropping etc). Thus files uploaded are often rotated badly and of huge size 12.x MB etc.
  • It would be nice if in a future version, HB (esp could include imagemagick and a means to perform mass-operations on pre-selected imsges:

    • rotate
    • reduce resolution/filesize

    As it is I gather I will have to use the web UI on my Mac to re-download the images, crop/resize and replace them.

    I just started HomeBox (mostly for managing items in storage, but at the same time we are starting to catalog other items in the home) I have a few questions: 1. I notice that locations do not get an ID like items/Assets do. Is there a reason why? I think it would be useful 2. Also, one can apparently not add images of locations. Any reason why? 3. I have started by defining several boxes (in which we store goods) as locations, because that seemed to make more sense than tagging them as items (with contents as sub-items) This allows me to later just attach the box/suitcase etc to another parent location and all items inside will move along with it.This is the main reason why I want images and IDs for locations too. particularly also to be able to use the ID on a printed label for the location (boxes, shelves etc) Is anyone else doing this, or are there reasons not to do this? Re Ids. I think it would be good to have the ability to define several namespaces for IDs, (by defining a pattern etc) and then have the ability to assign the ‘next if from namespace X’ to each item. (with separate spaces for locations and items , but the ability to override that). And HB should remember the last used namespace to draw the next free number form . The idea behind separate nemaspaces is to eg have one for each person’s private items, for rooms, boxes, shelves etc.
