This project is an attempt to implement desktop client for Synology(R) Photo Station service. The application is in very early development stage. It requires much love.
The reason this project has been started is improving browsing experience for huge photo sets (especially actual for HDD-based NAS setups):
- improving launch time of browsing UI
- improving loading speed of images
- eliminating lags of user interface
Another reason is implementation of desktop-based encoding for images & video during upload to NAS. The official upload tool exists for Windows only, and does not support some new video formats.
Currently the supported environment is Windows + MSVC. Other platforms are expected to be added later.
