Photomode

Provides overlay file listing for the photo mode UI.

Overview

util_photomode scans for available photo mode overlay PNG files and returns them as a list. Used by the photo mode UI module to populate overlay selection.

Extension path: lua/ge/extensions/util/photomode.lua

Internals

Overlay Discovery

Scans ui/modules/photomode/ui-overlays/ for *.png files (non-recursive, depth 0).

Returns an array of tables:

{
  {filename = "ui/modules/photomode/ui-overlays/grid_3x3.png"},
  {filename = "ui/modules/photomode/ui-overlays/golden_ratio.png"},
  ...
}

How It Works

1. The photo mode UI calls getPhotomodeOverlays().
2. The function scans the overlays directory for PNG files.
3. Results are returned as an array of {filename} tables for the UI to display.

Lua Examples

-- Get available photo mode overlays
local overlays = extensions.util_photomode.getPhotomodeOverlays()
for _, overlay in ipairs(overlays) do
  print(overlay.filename)
end
