Basic functionality looks quite good although there are a lot of rough edges that will need polishing before including it in trunk. Still I think this is very useful for various users. I suggest putting it in the wiki at http://zim-wiki.org/wiki and use a page there to track improvements. Alternatively you could check in a bazaar tree for this plugin in launchpad. Some suggestions: * Use gtk.pixbuf to generate thumbnails instead of imagemagick * Follow the freedesktop.org spec for storing thumbnails * Use the open_file method in zim to allow opening files on double click * Maybe use a small pane for image preview instead of the tooltip ? > For more flexibility I suggest changing the zim layout to something like > this: > +-----------------------------+ > |menu | > +-----+----------------+------+ > | | top pane | | > | | | | > | s +----------------+ s | > | i | wiki editor | i | > | d | | d | > | e | | e | > | b +----------------+ b | > | a |tabs| | a | > | r | bottom pane | r | > | | | | > +----------------------+------+ I'll keep this in mind when refactoring the interface.
