Alex 38f69b3f4f fix(privacy): hidden-cover was showing inside the Hidden view too 
Tile.qml compared filterMode against TimelineModel.HiddenMode, but
enum constants don't resolve through a plain context-property
instance in QML — it read as undefined, so filterMode !== undefined
was always true and the privacy cover rendered everywhere, including
on the Hidden page itself. Every other call site in the codebase
already compares filterMode against plain integer literals; do the
same here (HiddenMode = 3).

Kader

A fast, modern photo gallery for Linux — built with Qt 6, QML Material 3, and C++.

Features

  • Timeline — mosaic grid with automatic monthly separators and variable density
  • Albums — folder-based with pinning, custom covers, and virtual album creation
  • Videos — dedicated view with an integrated player (FFmpeg backend), looping, volume, seeking
  • Places / Map — geotagged photos plotted on an OpenStreetMap with reverse-geocoded pin cards
  • Favorites, Hidden, Trash — smart views; hidden photos are password-protected
  • Viewer — zoom/pan, EXIF info panel, keyboard navigation, fullscreen, copy to clipboard
  • RAW camera support — thumbnail extraction via LibRaw for NEF, CR2, CR3, ARW, DNG, RAF and more
  • Encrypted thumbnails — AES-256-CBC per-machine key, cached on disk
  • Fast scanning — parallel directory walk using Linux getdents64, Exiv2 EXIF parsing, batch SQLite writes in WAL transactions
  • Storage overview — sidebar card showing photos, video, and other disk usage
