Oh-image-card F7 method photoBrowser.open

Hi

I would open the photobrowser (oh-image-card) from an item.
Can I reach the F7 methode photoBrowser.open(index) from OH(4) ?
Or must I use F7-card ?

Regards Hajo

User level OH does not have access to the F7 methods.

You may be able to use the new UI item feature, but I’m not sure it quite fits your use case. This has been added very recently so I don’t think it’s even documented yet, but you can see the basic info in the PR here:

Adds an UI command Item

This allows the local running instance of the UI to listen to an item for comman…ds. Specifically it will understand the following commands. - navigate - popup - popover - sheet - close (closes all popups/sheets/popover) - back - reload - notification Commands with arguments use a colon delimiter, mirroring widget actions in the UI, for example `navigate:/pages/page` `popup:widget:customWidget` `notification:Text:Title:Sub Title:Title Right:5000` ~I have this as a WIP~ as i play with this some more, but its very handy for tablets i have mounted around the house, i can easily pop up a camera, or a SIP call when the doorbell rings, trigger a reload when i have made UI changes or after a system update/restart, etc..... users can select the item in the about menu, since we have other local options set there its seemed to be the best place. <img width="919" alt="image" src="https://github.com/openhab/openhab-webui/assets/1903737/2a223eec-815a-4c16-bf52-0b49499770e8">

This is only works on interfaces where you have configured the UI listening item (as it should be), and it won’t open a photobrowser directly, but you could have it open a widget in a popup that uses the oh-image-card to show you a specific image.
