how to browse images in thumbnail view?

Just an update...

I did some digging into the replacement for Konqueror, "Dolphin", and it appears to be using an item view for its thumbnail view (a KCategorizedView which is derived from a QListView). At least as far as I can tell it doesnt appear to be taking advantage of the QGraphicsView.

I'm assuming they're using that because they have a QDirModel driving it.

It sure would be nice to have an open source thumbnail viewer that takes advantage of the QGraphicsView. Not that my code is all that fantastic, but if I make some headway on one I'll post some stuff back here at the very least.

Ok, as promised I have some code that will hopefully get some people started, its attached as a PyQt example

I apologize for the lack of comments and docstrings but this was more of a mockup than anything else

Here's how to use:

app = QtGui.QApplication([])
widget = QdContactSheet()
images = # list of images you want to view as thumbnails
images.sort()
widget.load(images)
 
widget.setWindowTitle("Contact Sheet")
widget.resize(1000, 800)
widget.show()
app.exec_()

app = QtGui.QApplication([])
widget = QdContactSheet()
images = # list of images you want to view as thumbnails
images.sort()
widget.load(images)

widget.setWindowTitle("Contact Sheet")
widget.resize(1000, 800)
widget.show()
app.exec_()

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
