Thumbnails arranged in a grid

[mboeni]

Hi all

I need to create an "asset browser" which shows media assets (like images, videos, audio files, etc) in a grid. The grid should consist of thumbnails or static pictures (in the case of a sound file). I would like to choose a fixed size of the thumbnails and when I resize the area - more should be shown (not the thumbnails resized).

I am wondering which combination of widgets for container and asset thumbnail would be the best suited.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Michael

QListView with IconMode. Or if you need more control use a QGraphicsView, but then you have to take care for all the positioning.

You can also try a gridview with a bunch of QLabels.
QLabel label; label.setPixmap(p); arranged in a grid.

Ah okay - another approach to try out Have you done something like that?

...and you can write your own layout class which arranges widgets in a grid. Most easiest way is same size widgets in a flow layout (which you can find in the documentation).
