clutter_texture_get_from_file can't be used, pan view should share the image loading infrastructure with the rest of geeqie. Reasons: - we need to control which decoded images are stored in the memory, the decoded full-size images can be too large to fit in memory at once. - the cache and thumbnails should be shared with the normal mode - we have to apply color profiles after the images are loaded - in the future we may want to add custom image loaders I think that the best solution would be to implement new actor subclass or somehow override the functions for loading and drawing in clutter texture. The libchamplain library probably has something like that implemented - it has to load map tiles on demand and that is a similar task. Geeqie stores all images in GdkPixbuf structure, so I think that pan view should continue with that.
