Description

A Live Photo or a burst now appears once in the gallery instead of as several items. The Live Photo video (IMG_1234.livephoto.mov) is shown on its photo, and the other photos of a burst (IMG_1234.burst.<n>) on the main photo of the burst, following the names the mobile app uses when it backs them up. They are matched by day and name on each device, so photos with the same name on different days stay apart. A Live Photo video or burst photo whose main photo isn't there that day is shown on its own, as the mobile app does.

Each item shows a small icon in its corner: Live Photo, burst or video. Screen readers announce it as the description of the item.

The related files are kept with each item so the upcoming viewer download and move to trash can include them.

Walkthrough

The Photos view now classifies photo records, groups matching Live Photo videos and burst members, and displays translated badges for live photos, bursts, and videos.

Changes: Photo gallery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Photo data and grouping
src/views/Photos/types.ts, src/views/Photos/services/photoFolders.service.ts, src/views/Photos/services/photoFolders.service.test.ts
Photo records now include a kind and related files. The service classifies videos and groups matching Live Photo videos and burst members with their main photos. Service tests include the new photo fields.
Gallery badges and validation
src/views/Photos/components/PhotoGridItem.tsx, src/app/i18n/locales/*.json, src/views/Photos/PhotosView.test.tsx
PhotoGridItem displays translated, accessible badges for live photos, bursts, and videos. PhotosView tests cover paired and unmatched files, burst members, videos, and ordinary photos.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Possibly related PRs

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review eaad3

Some videos can be hidden or mislabeled in the Photos gallery, and some Live Photo or burst items will still show up separately. Restrict grouping to still photos, handle same-name photos on different days, and make burst matching case-insensitive before merging. Files are not deleted, and the page is not yet linked from the sidebar.

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It covers the change and its reason: a Live Photo or burst appears once in the gallery, with the related files kept for the upcoming viewer download and trash features. It names the related Jira issue (PB-7047) and a stacked-PR dependency. It gives a testing process that lists the covered grouping cases. The unchecked boxes for documentation, SonarCloud review, and QA are open items, but the required content is present.

Review comments at @src/views/Photos/services/photoFolders.service.ts:
- Line 30: Update isBurstMember to recognize burst members only when they are
photos, not videos; preserve the existing suffix check for photo files so videos
such as burst MP4s are not treated as burst photos.
- Line 30: Update the isBurstMember check to recognize burst suffixes regardless
of letter case, either by normalizing plainName before testing or by making
BURST_MEMBER_SUFFIX case-insensitive; preserve the existing suffix-matching
behavior.
- Line 39: Update the mainPhotos filtering logic in the photo-folder service to
exclude videos as well as related files, so only photo files can become
main-photo candidates; leave related-file handling unchanged.
- Line 40: Update the mainPhotoByName candidate lookup so same-name photos from
different days are all retained; when matching Live Photo videos, select a photo
from the same day. Preserve month-wide matching for burst members.
