Filtering in App Browser doesn't affect Captures in the timeline
If I want to find Humans, I can select that as a filter, and the list of captures only shows captures with humans. But the timeline of captured video contains everything. So when I play a video of humans, and it moves to the next capture, and so on, it's ALL videos, not humans. Seems like it should filter the timeline as well, no?

I think this is a good point. I'll see if we can make this modification in the next update, to only show filtered events in the timeline as well as the file list.

Awww... didnt make it for this last release :/. Liking the iOS updates though with the custom player. The ZOOM and the Share!
Thank you!
But then, the thumbnails are still only 1/3 of the screen in iOS. Go landscape and whoa... lots of empty space. But at least I can see the video is 12.8 MB ;)
The video size seems unnecessary, maybe it's just me. The other info is sometimes just repeated, like the Date, or Camera (if selecting one camera). Maybe a sliding Header with the Date up top, so it only shows up once, changes as you scroll to next day. Time and camera name, maybe on top or bottom of the thumbnail, or without the Size, you could at least use 1/2 or maybe 2/3 the width of the screen for the thumbnail. I have to to the 3-fingered triple tap shortcut and use Accessibility Zoom to get a better view, but then video player and controls aren't accessible. Anyway... keep up the good work...

Yes unfortunately this didn't make it into the latest release as it is a little more complicated than it first seems. The list on the left shows events, whereas the timeline below shows files. So what you could have is a long file, where a human appears only at the end, that is shown in the timeline when you filter by humans, and the appearance of majority of this file in the timeline may seem counter-intuitive. So this needs a bit more thought before implementation.
In terms of the layout - the thing is that we have to account for many different screen sizes and orientations and pick a layout that works for all. Increasing the thumbnail size would result in fewer lines being displayed, so there's a tradeoff here (unless we switched to some kind of grid view, but that would require a complete re-write of the interface).
In any case, I hope you like all the features in the recent updates, even though we perhaps haven't covered everything that you would ideally want!

It's really good to see the updates Ben, seriously. I think it would be really easy to just try to scrape by with what you've got, but you keep making things better, and we see it!
Thank you!
