Album rotation - multiple images

[NullVsNone]

Could this be enhanced to support uploading multiple images, with a set timer to rotate between the "album" of images?

Not very experienced in python (nor Pi(s)), but something along the lines of:

• No longer calling delete image

PiInk/src/webserver.py

Line 89 in 5117914

deleteImage()

• [Optional] Use a UUID for filename for multiple uploads

PiInk/src/webserver.py

Line 90 in 5117914

filename = secure_filename(file.filename)

• Introducing an updater

import sched, time, random

def cycle_album(scheduler): 
    scheduler.enter(3600, 1, cycle_album, (scheduler,))
    updateEink(random.choice(UPLOAD_FOLDER, ORIENTATION,ADJUST_AR)

album_schedule = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.sleep)
album_schedule.enter(3600, 1, cycle_album, (album_schedule,))
album_schedule.run()

Yes! This is actually something I've been planning on implementing once I have more time!

Thanks for your suggestions!

Hey @tlstommy and @NullVsNone,

We’re a student team working on a free mobile app to make it easier for digital picture frame users to crop, upload, and manage their photos. We really want to build something useful for the community, and your discussion about rotating albums and handling multiple images is super relevant to what we're exploring.

We’ve made a quick anonymous survey (5–10 minutes) to better understand how people actually use digital frames. If you have a moment, we’d really appreciate your input:

Thanks a lot for helping us out!
