Hi I'm very excited to be a part of this awesome community and I wish to contribute to it in any way I can. I really like Firefox OS and its entire concept! I've been recruited into the TCP program and so I got my FLATFISH device. After some playing around on the stock OS that came, I changed to the latest Gaia version by downloading the codebase and using *$* GAIA_DEVICE_TYPE=tablet make reset-gaia I've mostly been testing apps and reporting some small bugs. One such bug I came across was in the *Gallery App.* I had a lot of images on my SD Card which I plugged in and launched the app. I noticed that the images loaded *oldest first*, while the display order was *latest first*. This gave the effect that on the device, the image thumbnail I was viewing in the preview pane kept shifting down. This made it impossible to use the Gallery App unless all the image thumbnails have preloaded. That, depending on the device, image size and number of images can take an *unpredictable amount of time.* A simple and nice fix according to me would be to keep the display order same as the image thumbnail processing order. This way, new thumbnails can be just appended to the matrix and the current view can be left undisturbed. Order can be kept preferably *latest first*. I liked the view of the Gallery App letting us preview images on the right side pane. However, this small detail bugged me. I posted a *bug* here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1028751 *[RESOLVED | WONTFIX]* Are we tackling this issue for *Boot2Gecko-2.1* release? I updated Gaia to *commit* dd42afb7d6d66a6c2bd999692fec6b6d553d23de and didn't see any change in the behaviour of the App. PS: Sorry I am new to all this. Didn't know if I was performing some wrong procedure. So, described entire procedure. -- Nilay Binjola -- Nilay Binjola
