I have YET to upgrade to 7. Too scared for my plex and my apps I'm running on it.My short answer is no, but that’s just me
it’s beyond bizarre that converting photos for unsupported codecs is a “solution“.
I don't use Synology photos![]()
As a Apple-device only user I can confirm that everything works just fine. Via Macs or Phone app, upload heic and hevc files works with no issues at all.Hm
Wouldn’t your phone be able to view these photos, since the phone supports the codec?
Wouldn’t you be able to view it in the browser once the thumbnails have been generated and you have (at least for windows) the codec installed?
CorrectSo if you view them not using the iPhone app and just on a web browser, you will see the HEIC image?
If done via a supported app and device. So if the device can't handle it you need all the addons that came with Synology photos 1.7. If the device by default supports HEIC/HEVC (like iPhone, or Mac via Safari for example), you do not need anything special. In fact anyone not reading the release notes will detect zero changes.And what about new HEIC files you add, will their thumbnails be generated and see-able on the webpage?
No. I am talking about new upload of new images into Photos. So you have 50 new images making a fresh 50 thumbnails, all is done on device upon uploading and once executed the content is transferred into Photos and presented with all the metadata.Or youre talking about the iPhone app DOWNLOADING the heic and generating on the iPhone, wasting space, time, bandwidth, and it still wont be viewable on the webpage.
Incorrect. There is no issue as long as the device can handle the format. Then you will have no issues at all. I agree with you that most bulk operations would be done via a computer/browser and not the phone (I'm one of those users), and using a Mac ith Safari browser I haven't installed any new addons to work with Synology Photos in order to upload and greate new albums/folders. Again, if I didn't read the notes I would not be aware of any changes in terms of tasks now being handled by the client side, and not the NAS.They removed HEIC from the NAS and if youre on the nav via web, as many if not most people are, this is an issue.
Let the purge begin!Can’t wait for comments when DSM8 starts rolling out. Ofc from those who will stay with Synology as a brand from that point forward.![]()
