I want to change the directory view to a more generic "filelist provider" which can be anything that generates a list of files from selected directory, for example "plain directory content", "recursive directory content", "search results", "keywords tree". The calendar that provides a list of files from selected date, as you describe above, would fit here too. The list of files will be displayed in the second window as icons or list, like now. Other modes can be added too. To make it work, we first need some cache for metadata, because extracting them for a longer list of files is too slow. I am thinking about using sqlite. The image files still have to be a primary metadata source. > The main question is: if we finally decided to add this feature to gwview, > will we have any help? I saw that project activity is very low, and last > version is on December 2006 ( my tutor says that because gqview is a very > stable program ;) ). > Second question: would you consider to add this new "navigation file > phiolophy" on your porject? (it's possible to add it as a 'switch option') > ? Yes, any help with the project is welcome. The changes should be however added incrementally by small pieces, as they are developed, to ensure good integration with the current codebase.
