My main concern is that without the cache the pan view will be slow and it will hard to test the new features.

The only alternative that I am aware of is Berkeley DB, and IMHO sqlite has a better API. > Sqlite creates a new dependency with geeqie installation; Sqlite is used by other projects like firefox, f-spot, or digikam so there is a high probability that it is already installed and the additional requirement should not cause any problem. > and a new process running on the system ( I think that there should be a > sqlite server daemon ). No, it is just a shared library, no additional daemon. > Have you considered to implement the cached > database with plain text files ? What we need is searching faster than O(n), i.e. tables with indexes. Unlike text files, Sqlite provides it. > With all this discussion, I want to show > that there is still some issues that should be discussed before using > Sqlite.

Then we can branch the svn and start working on the new features. You should have a more detailed plan for the pan view by then. Then I will start work on sqlite, my estimate of time required for basic functionality is 50 hours, it could be functional at the end of May. This will give us enough time for integrating with the pan view.
