Folder thumbnail label insensitive to mouse clicks
Posted: 27 Jul 23, 21:30

Folders thumbnails.jpg (48.3 KB)

Hi,

If I click on a folder thumbnail, it opens that folder, nice

But if I click on the folder label (the part in red in the attached capture), nothing happens.

That does not matter if the label is located below the thumbnail, but is annoying when the label is located over the thumbnail. This is particularly true if the thumbnail is small and the label is a bit long: the clickable part is very small!

This is the same problem for the images count.

Is it possible to fix that ?

The folder title could be made linkable, but the comment itself is regarded as HTML formatted, and an HTML structure cannot be linked. Or at least not any HTML content can be linked.

If you'd like the title to be linked use this Folder title caption:

<h3><a href="${closeupPath}">${title}</a></h3>
<div class="comment">${commentShort}</div>

This code in the Settings / Tiger / Advanced / CSS box makes the text color "normal" - not like a link.

.folders .cont.caption-over .card .caption > h3 a { color: ${lighterText}; }

I'll probably add this option to the skin for the next release.

I don't know how to make the counts into a link.

I'm guessing this is what you'd like to see:

(demo album removed)

Laza, I'm unclear about why this is a problem. Very simple HTML, and all perfectly valid.

Your workaround works as I expected for the title.
It would be nice if you can add this for the next release.
Thanks Laza

And Jeff, you guessed perfectly well

As far as I know, embedding a link into a link is not valid. And comments often contain links.

True, but titles might also contain links.

I strip out the links if the thumbnail caption is being shown as an overlay (in short, I treat them like tooltips, which also can't contain links). The links are preserved if the caption is being shown below the thumbnail - in that case, the caption isn't a link to the folder, anyway. They're preserved when the title/comment are shown in the title bar of the index page for the folder, which is where they're much more useful.

Yes, that's another approach. Perhaps better. But Tiger has already enabled links in the overlaid captions too, so I don't want to break this functionality.
