Re: Thumbnail browser

Why not just add a simple 'Open from Camera' or something that uses the gphoto kioslave (if present). If the kioslave works, then PixiePlus shouldn't have a problem. This brings up another issue altogether as KDE should allow a user to 'create' devices in the sense that Floppy, CDROM, Digital Cameras, MP3 Players, etc. can be more easily accessed by application and browsed via Konqueror. kioslaves provide the grunt work, but I believe there is some definite UI work that could make them easier to use. I know, the general response will be 'just type gphoto:/' and stuff, but I think it would be cool for KDE to have a way to 'create' these so that there is an actually system item that is browsable directly in all file dialogs and is named according to the system administrator/user's preference... (i.e. browsing to 'Hitachi Digital Camera' in FILE / OPEN to get pictures from a digital camera)

One of these days, I'll get around to actually creating and using linuxnetworker.com in order to SHOW what I mean :)

Any way.. these are just my point. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, if pixieplus used ioslaves, and supports d&d, then al you have to do is drag
the image from a konqueror view.

Sources for thumbnail browser

Hi,
Is there any tool(along with C sources) available for automatically converting the images in the directory while it is browsing and showing its thumbnails when a preview option is selected. I am trying to write a lightweight tool to browse my directory which has multiple jpg/gif images in it.

regards,
Srinivas Rao.M
