We're using them on £5 notes from some issuers in Scotland. And they'll be rolled out on all UK banknotes over the next few years.

Thanks for explaining. It would be useful if the app made the differences clearer - you can see the confusion in this thread alone where people just can't see why my delete icon is missing and theirs is present (and the ensuing downvot

I don't see an option to change the view. Does this mean I need to be signed in to do that? If so, that's a really poor design. I should be able to delete photos just as easily whether or not I'm signed in. I'm not sure

I have the same build! How strange. I'm on a Nexus 6 (stock 5.1.1), UK based but SIM-Free (not carrier branded). See my other comment for a screenshot of what I see. It's frustrating as I have to click the menu button, then Delete

The trash icon doesn't show up anymore. When you select multiple photos you still have to go through the menu to select "Delete local copy". Even if it did show up, I like to review the photos full-screen and flip back and fo

That's the old Photos app. This doesn't happen on the latest build.

Actually, there is a setting in Google Photos (at least the web interface) which lets you choose between "High quality" and "Original" (Menu -> Settings). "High quality" recompresses large files, but gives y

Can anyone recommend any resources on power management on something like this? My background in electronics is quite basic though I'd love to understand how they managed to build an ARM-based, battery-powered device that is predicted t

I'm not sure - I'm from Scotland. Though from what I understand, it's illegal to make copies (electronic or otherwise) of banknotes in both Scotland and the USA. When I was recently in the US, I bought a novelty pad of oversi

What's with the auto-playing music when you hit their main page though? It looks like a great project, and I do love Mario and all things Nintendo, but auto-playing music is just obnoxious.

Unfortunately, like I say, I've tried that (using Thunar - the otherwise fantastic file manager in XFCE). I'm not sure if it's Thunar's fault, or it's the FUSE layer beneath it, but I've always found it to be a
