Synology Image Assistant Extension

Not only is this a bad solution and downgrade from past capabilities, but it also requires both an extension and an .exe file. Linux desktops can't use this solution. This means its not an option (or requires a windows emulation) to run on my primary desktop. Not a solution and not acceptable.

Su Android e su Windows 10 provato e purtroppo ha degradato l'uso delle pubblicazioni con PHOTOS

Supremely idiotic that this is required.

I am extremely disappointed with Synology's latest update, DSM 7.2.2, particularly with their decision to offload media transcoding and processing to client devices. A NAS is supposed to function as a server, handling heavy workloads like media transcoding, so that clients (which are often less powerful) don’t have to bear the burden. Synology’s move to shift this responsibility to clients feels like a step backward and a cost-cutting measure at the expense of user experience. The whole point of investing in a NAS is to centralize tasks and reduce the load on individual devices. By offloading media processing to clients, Synology is essentially passing the buck, forcing users to rely on their own devices' capabilities. This is especially problematic for users with older or less powerful devices, which will struggle with the added processing demands. What’s the point of having a high-end NAS if it can’t handle basic server tasks like media transcoding? While Synology claims that this change improves thumbnail processing performance by 2.5 times, this feels like a band-aid solution rather than addressing the core issue. A NAS should be optimized to handle these tasks internally, not rely on external devices to pick up the slack. This update makes me question the value of Synology’s hardware and software, especially when competitors are offering solutions that truly leverage the power of a NAS as a server. Overall, this decision feels like a misstep for Synology. If I wanted my clients to handle media processing, I wouldn’t have invested in a NAS in the first place. I hope Synology reconsiders this approach and refocuses on making their NAS devices true servers, capable of handling the workloads they were designed for. Until then, I cannot recommend this update or Synology’s current direction.

Not a smart move from Synology. This extensions creates white thumbnails for all my images. Now i have to recreate them without the extension. It used to work so good before this (on the NAS). Why the change? no one likes this.

à quoi sert mon NAS maintenant ? je dois installer des logiciels autres pour pouvoir accéder à une fonctionnalité présente auparavant... c'est inacceptable. Revenez sur vos pas messieurs

IDIOTS, INTEGRATE THE CODEC INTO THE LINUX

It's unclear why this extension is needed. I'd use my own hardware and software if I didn't expect a comprehensive storage solution from Synology.

Garbage. Really hope they go back to processing on the NAS itself.
