Hi everyone.

I am Imagenero..new in this list. Been using QC since late 2009.

I am making a video switcher in which I want to load a folder with movies
using the directory scanner, then I want to generate a thumbnail of each
movie  in the directory and be able to click on the thumb to load the movie.


So far I can read the "movies" folder, load the selected index movie into a
player using the  structure index and make a thumbnail using kineme "Quick
Look".  I only get a thumb of the movie loaded.  not the entire directory.


Instead of using the index slider to load a new movie in the player i want
to be able to click on a thumbnail to load the movie.

My question is :  is it posible to create dynamically the thumbs (using
virtual patches or composition loader) according to the number of movies in
the directory and the members of the structure.  I don´t want to hardwire
the number of movies you can load in the comp.

I have tried using the iterator patch to create buttons(not Thumbs), with
partial results. I can draw the number of buttons using the structure count,
but i can´t click on them to send the id of the movie to the structure
index.
Since the consumer patches in the iterator can´t get an output, I can´t
connect the button id to the structure index.

I hope this makes sense.

Just to resume:

is there a way to create/load patches or compositions dynamically?

Any ideas?


Thanks for you time

I.
