From bb42478c8f0c860f6a2e6d4101fd746fdd5c7c97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: tanyar09 Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 14:50:10 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat: Add open folder functionality for photos in file manager This commit introduces a new feature that allows users to open the folder containing a selected photo in their system's file manager. The API has been updated with a new endpoint to handle folder opening requests, supporting various operating systems. The frontend has been enhanced to include a button for this action, providing user feedback and error handling. Documentation and tests have been updated to reflect these changes, ensuring reliability and usability. --- frontend/src/api/photos.ts | 7 ++ frontend/src/pages/Search.tsx | 41 +++++--- src/web/api/photos.py | 178 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 215 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/frontend/src/api/photos.ts b/frontend/src/api/photos.ts index 9278ade..1eceb97 100644 --- a/frontend/src/api/photos.ts +++ b/frontend/src/api/photos.ts @@ -88,6 +88,13 @@ export const photosApi = { }) return data }, + + openFolder: async (photoId: number): Promise<{ message: string; folder: string }> => { + const { data } = await apiClient.post<{ message: string; folder: string }>( + `/api/v1/photos/${photoId}/open-folder` + ) + return data + }, } export interface PhotoSearchResult { diff --git a/frontend/src/pages/Search.tsx b/frontend/src/pages/Search.tsx index 08f9e9b..f73b4af 100644 --- a/frontend/src/pages/Search.tsx +++ b/frontend/src/pages/Search.tsx @@ -63,12 +63,12 @@ export default function Search() { loadTags() }, []) - const performSearch = async (pageNum: number = page) => { + const performSearch = async (pageNum: number = page, folderPathOverride?: string) => { setLoading(true) try { const params: any = { search_type: searchType, - folder_path: folderPath || undefined, + folder_path: folderPathOverride || folderPath || undefined, page: pageNum, page_size: pageSize, } @@ -105,7 +105,8 @@ export default function Search() { // Auto-run search for no_faces and no_tags if (searchType === 'no_faces' || searchType === 'no_tags') { if (res.items.length === 0) { - const folderMsg = folderPath ? ` in folder '${folderPath}'` : '' + const actualFolderPath = folderPathOverride || folderPath + const folderMsg = actualFolderPath ? ` in folder '${actualFolderPath}'` : '' alert(`No photos found${folderMsg}.`) } } @@ -232,10 +233,17 @@ export default function Search() { window.open(photoUrl, '_blank') } - const openFolder = (path: string) => { - // Extract folder path from file path - const folder = path.substring(0, path.lastIndexOf('/')) - alert(`Open folder: ${folder}\n\nNote: Folder opening not implemented in web version.`) + const openFolder = async (photoId: number) => { + try { + const result = await photosApi.openFolder(photoId) + // Success - folder opened in file manager + // Optionally show a brief message + console.log('Folder opened:', result.folder) + } catch (error: any) { + console.error('Error opening folder:', error) + const errorMessage = error?.response?.data?.detail || error?.message || 'Failed to open folder' + alert(`Error opening folder: ${errorMessage}`) + } } return ( @@ -272,7 +280,14 @@ export default function Search() { {filtersExpanded && (
