As a first experiment, let's try to build a media list, using Clutter or Qt.
How about the following:
* A Grid of thumbnails that stretch from left to right, and scroll off the bottom
* as you mouse over one of them, it pushes forward, becomes larger, and expands into a rectangle, containing the thumbnail. and some text.
* kinetic scrolling.
Go.

Learning qt.
Can you point me to the lmce side to where to draw this off of DB? I am obviously green.
By scroll off of the bottom, do you mean simple up/down or left/right buttons... or do you mean more advanced scrolling like ui2?

Well, for now, just use some dummy data. Whatever will get you moving faster.
I am actually referring to kinetic scrolling, where dragging with the mouse, will scroll in a given direction... If you have another idea, have at it.. I was just trying to give some example ideas.
I don't want a scroll bar, if we can avoid it.

there is a good example in the database section of those books i linked in irc, specifically c++ gui programming with qt4 should get you up and running allthough you may need to grab the qtmysql driver. Tschak pointed me in the right direction and it was just a matter of moving the .so from one place to another. lastly, if your using qt-creator, you'll need to add QT += sql on its own line to your .pro file otherwise it wont include things properly. In other news, i realized after this was all worked out that I would have to create an dummy mysql user for this to work properly. I could have used temp data, but i like the idea of working with data in a form that its going to live in to see what can be done. -golgoj4 |

I was thinking of using smaller thumbs and including space for a resized pip for active video... I then realized that I am looking at a huge TV, and would have to keep in mind a smaller one. Would have to function differently than a mobile orbiter... or waste space.
Worthwhile for this exercise?

Could you provide that link here for those who were not on IRC at the time? J. |

I did some very unimpressive things before I got sick. I am out of the hospital now and will spend the next 3 days doing this. I mean... the qt interface is pretty much drag and drop... so you can do really pretty things pretty easily... I was trying to get into alpha layering and PIP... so most of the time I have invested is just reading. I will just do what you asked first so that there is at least some measure of progress. |

3 days, 3 weeks... you get the idea. Had to take on some projects to keep the people fed.

Unfortunately not I. In the time I do have right now I am re-learning c++ and looking at the linux TouchOrbiter among other things... trying to get my head re-wrapped around pointers (and pointers to pointers).

Yes.
Every time I make headway my life folds in around me. Will have a working model before forever or never. Need a job.
