Question 1

How to create a custom transition in ATGMediaBrowser?

Accepted Answer

Define a ContentTransformer closure that updates view transforms based on position, set the gestureDirection and drawOrder properties, and assign it to mediaBrowser.contentTransformer. The README provides an example with horizontalMoveInOut.

Question 2

ATGMediaBrowser vs SDWebImage for image viewing?

Accepted Answer

ATGMediaBrowser focuses on presentation and transitions, leaving caching to you, while SDWebImage handles downloading and caching but lacks built-in viewer customization. Use ATGMediaBrowser for custom galleries, SDWebImage for integrated image management.

Question 3

How to handle image caching with ATGMediaBrowser?

Accepted Answer

Use external libraries like Kingfisher or SDWebImage in the data source method mediaBrowser(_:imageAt:completion:), fetching and caching images before passing them to the completion block to avoid memory issues.

Question 4

Does ATGMediaBrowser support video playback?

Accepted Answer

No, it's designed only for image slide-shows; for videos, you'd need to extend the library or use a different solution that supports media types like AVPlayer.

Question 5

How to change the gap between images in the browser?

Accepted Answer

Set the gapBetweenMediaViews property on the mediaBrowser instance, e.g., mediaBrowser.gapBetweenMediaViews = 64.0, which affects spacing in custom transitions via MediaContentView.interItemSpacing.

Question 6

Is ATGMediaBrowser memory efficient for large galleries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it uses only three views in memory regardless of item count, but you must manage external image caching to prevent high memory usage when loading large or high-resolution images.
