Further development
|
||||||
|
-------------------
|
||||||
|
Urgent blockers for the first stable version:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- directory browsing
|
||||||
|
- implement zoom and scrolling
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
High priority:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- some level of asynchronous loading and preloading,
|
||||||
|
which becomes a difficult problem with network mounts,
|
||||||
|
confusingly acting as fast devices
|
||||||
|
- write a replacement for GNOME's Nautilus in grid mode:
|
||||||
|
read-only, with focus on staggered previews and minimising wasted space
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Low priority:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- display 16-bit pictures smoothly, using the 30-bit depth under X.org
|
||||||
|
- make RAW as fast as it can possibly be
|
||||||
|
- load everything that resembles a picture, potentially even play video
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Non-goals:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- fancy UI, focus solely on speed of use
|
||||||
|
- memory efficiency, though preloading can cause some pressure
