Hi Vladimir & geeqie team;

How do you do ?
I've been making some improvement in Pan view. Now you can enter fullscreen
mode with Enter key; and I'm working in how to centre correctly images on
screen ( sometimes, when you click a thumbnail, it's shown behind visual
area; so you have to scroll manually to it; or resize main window). I'm also
working in other features ; that you can see in Wiki of Panview.

I've been talking with my tutor and you were right Vladimir: we do need
interface behaviour for pan view mode. We need a 'logical view' in Calendar
mode instead of 'image view'.
How useful is to zoom in a Calendar ?? A Calendar is a logical
representation of time; so I think we should work that way.
It would be nice if 'Zoom' behaves different in Calendar mode: '+' key over
a year shows you all the months of that year; in a similar way that calendar
view does now.
If you zoom again over a month; then you will get that month in full screen,
with more thumbnails per day .
Finally if you 'zoom' over a day; you will get all the pictures made that
day ; maybe sorted by the hour they were made.

It's completely possible to simulate this behaviour with actual Geeqie code;
but it would be better to implement it with an interface library. That's it,
clutter library , for example.
I know I told you it's impossible to me to make a complete integration of
clutter library. But it would be possible to implement everything in a new
file using clutter library; and pass control to that file. I could use some
useful functions from pan-view; as those that work with cache.

I could even leave 'old' Calendar view mode ; and let user use the new one (
that would let user decide if he wants to install clutter libraries or not).

Tell me what do you think about it!
Oscar.

PD: I need you to open a branch for me in subversion to eventually let you
test my code. Is it possible to open for next week ? Thanks.
