Describe your feature request
Currently, going to the specific page in the list is a pain. We need to click on next until we reach to that page. In some cases when there are lots of images in an album, and we know that we have to go to page number X, there is no way to direct navigate/jump to that page.

I am proposing, we should have a pagination system where we can go to specific page in the list so that navigation is easier. Right now there is no way to do this. Earlier,



Where did you see this?

FYI Chevereto doesn't paginate results, it uses cursor pagination which have the advantage of not needing to compute the length of the complete listing, it is just aware of the next/prev page. That kind of pagination is a must for a website which offers several dynamic listings.

You can learn about it in this ancient website: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55744926/offset-pagination-vs-cursor-pagination

The concept you should be worry about is "jump N files", which we could either put directly jump x files or a virtualized jump page as jump x page = jump x files-per-page x page, where the fetch cost increases depending on your peek size.
