I’d recommend checking out Gadgetbridge. It is an open source app, with no network permission requirements, that replaces the OEM app for a large number of watches. I’m running an Amazfit GTS 4 with it and it has been almost flawless.

The front fell off! That’s not very typical.

I’ve moved to Darktable on desktop but am still trying to find a good mobile alternative as well.

Ah OK, thanks for the info

This looks like a great tool, thank you. One question, does it only allow manual transfers or could it be set up to sync a folder between two devices?

Thanks, will check that out

Yeah Darktable is looking like the front runner at the moment, just need to nail down the syncing.

The part which is still a big question is if there is a good alternative to Lightroom for Android. The Android Lightroom app is really quite good and has almost all of the functionality that I need for quick on the go edits, but I am yet to find any equivalent apps that tick this box.

I hadn’t really considered using Wine as my experiences in the past with it were mostly filled with frustration so was really looking for a native app, but is definitely something I could investigate. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don’t have a NAS yet but that is the next upgrade for the network. However part of the added complexity is that I’d also like to be able to do quick edits on mobile on the go as well.

Just had a quick look and yeah looks interesting. Will give it a check out and compare it against Darktable. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah Lightroom has its own built in cloud storage solution that syncs your edits but not the originals. It does have some nice functionality, like being able to share custom albums online as a public or private gallery, but obviously just keeps you hooked on the Adobe ecosystem.

I went for pcloud over nextcloud a few years ago, as at the time, I just needed large off-site file storage and they have very good deals on multi-terabyte lifetime subscriptions. I am currently looking at setting up my own NAS though and will probably go with nextcloud for that.

Ah yeah, Affinity has been on my radar for a few years but disappointingly they do not seem interested in supporting the Android community, and even less so the Linux community (slightly more understandable as we are a rare breed 😋).

What is your worksteam like now after dropping Adobe?

I did watch a video on how to sync Darktable to pictures on your NAS, but it required manually pulling down the images and then manually syncing them back up again, which kind of defeated the purpose of sync for me.

This is beautiful! I checked out the artists gallery in the link and their other pieces are just as fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
