Searching by photo orientation?

[Viandub]

Hello, first of all thank you so much for that toolkit. It helped me tremendously!
However I would like to know if it's possible to search photos by their orientation (landscape or portrait). It is not possible on the GP app. I tried on your toolkit but with no success. Should I search the description with the photo dimensions using REGEX ?
Thanks again

Currently not possible with the gui. Maybe once #6 is done, it would be doable, but still not ideal.
But you can use api to do this. Just checking if height is bigger than width should work.

Thanks for your fast answer, using the api meaning on my laptop brother using a line of code to do that right ?

Yes. There is an example in the readme, you just need to modify it slightly.

Hi again sorry to bother you again, I asked chat gpt to write the code for me here is what he gave me :
`// ==UserScript==
// @name Google Photos Landscape Search with Date Filter and Album Creation
// @Version 2024-04-01
// @description Userscript to search Google Photos for landscape photos (width > height) within a date range and add them to a new album
// @author xob0t
// @match ://photos.google.com/
// @run-at document-start
// @grant none
// @noframes
// ==/UserScript==

const targetAlbumName = "Landscape Photos Album"; // Name for the new album
const startDate = new Date('2024-01-01'); // Example: Start date for the search (change as needed)
const endDate = new Date('2024-12-31'); // Example: End date for the search (change as needed)

const logData = (url, data) => {
const customRequest = !url.includes('&_reqid');
try {
// Split by line breaks and filter for lines containing "wrb.fr"
const jsonLines = data.split('\n').filter((line) => line.includes('wrb.fr'));

const photosToAddToAlbum = [];

for (const line of jsonLines) {
  let parsedData = JSON.parse(line);
  const rpcid = parsedData[0][1];
  parsedData = JSON.parse(parsedData[0][2]);

  // Extract photo data
  const photos = parsedData.photos || [];
  photos.forEach(photo => {
    const width = photo.width;
    const height = photo.height;
    const timestamp = new Date(photo.timestamp); // Assuming timestamp field exists

    // Check if photo is landscape (width > height) and within date range
    if (width > height && timestamp >= startDate && timestamp <= endDate) {
      console.log(`Found landscape photo (width > height) within date range:`, photo);
      photosToAddToAlbum.push(photo); // Collect matching photos
    }
  });

  // Log for custom requests with styling
  if (customRequest) {
    console.log('%c' + rpcid, 'background: blue; color: white; font-weight: bold;', parsedData);
  } else {
    console.log(rpcid, parsedData);
  }
}

// Once the matching photos are found, create a new album and add them
if (photosToAddToAlbum.length > 0) {
  createNewAlbum(targetAlbumName, photosToAddToAlbum);
}

} catch (error) {
console.error(${error});
}
};

const createNewAlbum = (albumName, photos) => {
// Mock function to simulate album creation
// In a real-world case, you would need to use the Google Photos API to create an album and add photos
console.log(Creating album: ${albumName});
console.log(Adding ${photos.length} photos to the album...);

// For demo purposes, we're just logging the result
console.log(Album "${albumName}" created and photos added:);
photos.forEach(photo => {
console.log(- ${photo.filename} (${photo.width}x${photo.height}, Date: ${new Date(photo.timestamp)}));
});

// Ideally, you would use an API call like this to create the album:
// 1. Create album using Google Photos API
// 2. Add photos to that album using batch API calls or similar
};

const logResponseData = (matches = []) => {
const urlPatterns = ['PhotosUi/data/batchexecute', ...matches];

const originalFetch = window.fetch;
window.fetch = async (...args) => {
const [url] = args;
if (urlPatterns.some((pattern) => url.includes(pattern))) {
try {
const response = await originalFetch(...args);
const clonedResponse = response.clone();
const body = await clonedResponse.text();
logData(url, body);
return response;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Fetch error:', error);
}
}
return originalFetch(...args);
};

const originalOpen = XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open;
XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open = function (method, url) {
if (urlPatterns.some((pattern) => url.includes(pattern))) {
this.addEventListener('load', function () {
logData(url, this.responseText);
});
originalOpen.call(this, method, url);
return;
}
originalOpen.apply(this, arguments);
};
};

logResponseData();

But when I paste it in the goog chrome console, nothing happens. Can you enlighten me please ? thanks
