view TODO @ 23:17acca639a86

##### Note: GQview CVS on sourceforge is not always up to date, please use ##### ##### an offical release when making enhancements and translation updates. ##### Fri Mar 18 19:52:38 2005 John Ellis <[e-mail]> * pixbuf-renderer.c: Fix broken 2pass queueing so it merges a single queue item for each tile, and now that a tile holds a queue pointer there is no need to walk the tile list to find a possible merge victim. Thu Mar 17 19:23:56 2005 John Ellis <[e-mail]> * image.c, pixbuf-renderer.[ch]: More progress, and 2 pass zoom now works again (mostly). Tue Mar 15 23:17:41 2005 John Ellis <[e-mail]> * image.[ch]: Start conversion to use of PixbufRenderer. * pixbuf-renderer.[ch]: Additions and fixes for use by ImageWindow. * fullscreen.c, image-overlay.c, img-view.c, info.c, layout.c, layout_image.c, print.c: Changes for above ImageWindow conversion. * typedefs.h: Remove unused ImageWindow variables. Mon Mar 14 20:45:50 2005 John Ellis <[e-mail]> * pan-view.c: Convert to using new PixbufRenderer. * pixbuf-renderer.[ch]: Clean up and fixes. Sun Mar 13 10:21:35 2005 John Ellis <[e-mail]> * image.c (image_scroller_start): Unref scroller pixbuf after adding it as an overlay to avoid leaking it. * pixbuf-renderer.[ch]: All functions defined in header file are now implemented. Fri Mar 11 17:05:36 2005 John Ellis <[e-mail]> * pixbuf-renderer.[ch]: Set up object properties and additional. Mar 10 19:22:18 2005 John Ellis <[e-mail]> * pixbuf-renderer.[ch]: FIx scrolling to use old method of gdk_draw and not gdk_scroll, as scroll often invalidates the entire window (!). Also merged in source tiles code from image.c. * pan-view.c: Change picked up when testing PixbufRender zoom. Tue Mar 8 23:26:00 2005 John Ellis <[e-mail]> * pixbuf-renderer.[ch]: Start of turning image drawing portion of ImageWindow into an actual GtkWidget. * src/Makefile.am: Add pixbuf-renderer.[ch]. * pan-view.c: Added temporary hack button and callback for testing PixbufRenderer widget.

TODO key: d = done, w = work in progress, ? = possibly fixed
          * = required before next release

Major:
----------------------------------------------

 > pixbuf-renderer.c:
   > fix two pass render from corrupting it->qd pointer (need one pointer for each queue?).
   > fix image_change_from_image (to do this need a pixbuf_renderer_move_image).
   > fix broken zoom out drawing when using source tiles.

 > image.c:
   > need to keep a list of ImageWindows and provide function to sync options to each object.
   > test and probably fix delay_flip.
   > make this a g_object with signals for completed, changed, etc.


 > work on pan view:
   > Pick a better keyboard shortcut than Control + J :)
   > Fix occasional redraw bugs when zoomed out.
   > Fix occasional odd requests for non-visible tiles when zoomed out (related to above?).
   > Fix slowness in image.c with huge grid size by changing use of pre-allocated tile array
     to on-demand tile allocation (can this be implemented like source tiles?).
     OR: use an array so that we do not need to walk a GList of pre-allocated tile containers
  w> Fix search scrolling to try to center image and info popup.
   > Fix info popup location to opposing horizontal side when near edge of grid.
   > Find something to do with middle mouse clicks.
   > should delete key actually work?
   > search should highlight all matching images (with toggle?)
   > should non-thumbnail images have a drop shadow?
   > uptimize pixbuf_draw_line (line endpoints should clip to draw region before draw loop)

   > time line view:
     > allow use of file date or EXIF (embedded) date.
     > allow horizontal _or_ vertical orientation.

   > calendar view:
    w> fix search. (UPDATE: still can not find day containing name/path/partial)
     > supports thumbnail size images only, should grey out actual size items in size menu or something...
     > allow use of file date or EXIF (embedded) date.

   > grid view:
     > allow sorting by name, date, size, dimensions, etc.

   > flower view:
     > fix it :)

   > under consideration:
     > split view

 > the info dialog is not set as a transient of the calling window, this causes it to be behind
   a full screen window when 'stay above other windows' is enabled.

 -------------

 > update translations: ( ) ( ) ( )

 > document recent additions/changes:
   > Added 'Fast jpeg thumbnailing'.
   > xvpics is now hidden option.
   > Holding down shift will now scroll more when panning with mouse.


Minor (non blockers):
----------------------------------------------

 > when resizing/refreshing collection window, keep the same top left thumbnail visible

 > do not lose slideshow when reworking window layout.

 > add toolbar to: (UPDATE: these toolbars may not make it into 1.6)
   > find dupes window (with button to open dialog to add new files/folders)
   > collection window
   > search window


Wishlist?:
----------------------------------------------

 > Initiating full screen from the command line should not
   show main window until full screen is exited.

 > add animated image support

 > add gamma correction patch

 > deleting a file should not discontinue slide show.

 > add option to only preload max # of thumbnails (to conserve memory),
   then release old/load new needed thumbnails on demand.

 > printing (low priority):
   > fix text postscript output by converting utf8 to a locale (better) understood by postscript...
   > allow selection of background color... (for image files only?)...
   > allow text color and font selection

 > image comparison window (displays two or more images for comparison)

 > add symlink option (in addition to the move/copy stuff.)

 > allow slideshow transition effects (wipe/fade etc.)

 > allow on the fly slideshow delay change with [,] and [.] (< and > too?)
   > show change in overlay for image...
   > account for changing of imd when toggling full screen...
   > should change be only to current slideshow?
