Petr,

It's useful. Sure. The issue with it was that it has never got any
love after its initial release with 0.5 years ago. Today one would
build such a widget with the layout system or render it as a virtual
widget like the Table does. Maybe we have such a widget with a follow
up release, but this depends on requests in our company or a
contributor building such a widget.
I have used gallery in a graph viewer project (actually the not yet
released smokeping in qooxdoo prototype). It was ideal for a
scalable layout where many small graphs were shown. Realy sad to
see it go away in 0.8 it was one of über-cool features of qooxdoo,
allowing me to easily implement things that were realy hard with
plain html. (having to rely on float left css and such)
As Sebastian already said, we dropped the gallery for 0.8 because we thought it is not used all that much and since it is largely based on low level DOM manipulations if does not fit well into 0.8 - at least not without significant refactoring. For the 0.8 final we are now in feature freeze so the gallery will not be in this release.

For the near term I see two possibilities:

1. Implement a qooxdoo flow layout so it will be easy to write any gallery like widget using qooxdoo
  1.1 Write a gallery using this flow layout
2. Do a direct port of the gallery to 0.8 (probably as part of qooxdoo-contrib)

Both tasks are not really complicated but it needs someone to do it. We don't currently plan to work on any of these items. It would be great if one of you is willing to step in and work on one of this items.

Hi list,

Although not in a position to make any commitments (due to work & serious lack of qooxdoo knowledge!), I also will need to have a "flow" layout for building an Image Manager style component -- I'd be willing to take a look at building such a thing (actually, already have looked at it), but to undertake this properly, I'll need the 0.8 documentation to be a bit further along, and possibly (for sure) some help from more experienced qooxdoo devs...

Might be a good introduction for me for how the layout system works.

Any thoughts / feedback, as always, welcome :-)

Cheers,
-Chris

PS. I also put my vote in for some good docs on how the Theming system works in 0.8 -- I've sub-classed Window with the goal of making a slightly different version of it, and it worked fantastically well considering my noob status, but changing its appearance is totally beyond me (I got lost in a trail of Theme classes last night...)
