It won't be too hard IMO. GtkImageView is a lightweight and complete image view library. Another good thing to play with is to do image loading with multi-threading so the UI doesn't lock whe loading large files. Maybe FmSimpleJob class in libfm can be taken to do this. Optional image pre-loading is also wanted. > 2) A search bar in pcmanfm (idea from > http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Google_Summer_of_Code_2010) The idea is ok, but how to do it is another problem. We don't have much space for this on the UI. Need to think more before really doing this. Is it possible to use the location bar for searching rather than introduce another widget? The main problem of Nautilus IMHO is that it has too many useless buttions on its UI. > 3) LXDE panel battery monitor HAL-based. It should be upower-based now. Look at lxpanel-plugins/upower in our git. I made some attempts on this and maybe you can extend it rather than do things from scratch. > 4) LXLauncher - Background image support is not yet added because the > time is now spent on the file manager, but we’ll do it this year. > 5) LXScreenshot Output from the dependeces gtk+ (also i think > screenshot from gpicview it's good idea too ) Yes, since a screenshot program also need image viewing facilities, but that could make the UI too complicated. Maybe "gpicview --screenshot" is a good idea. If the option is on, show different UI for screenshot. So we can reuse existing code in GPicView for image viewing and saving and this won't increase the program size much. > Thank you. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval > Try the new software tools for yourself.
