New Movida widget screenshots
Here is a new work in progress screenshot of the new Smart View in Movida.
As you can see, a slider (this is just a test window, it’s not the final product!) allows to resize the tiles, still preserving the aspect ratio. Resizing is still slow (specially if you set a 5MB bitmap as movie poster) because the thumbnails are resized every time (if thumbnails of that size cannot be found in the cache) using QPixmap’s scale methods. And they ain’t the best ones.
The best would be to stretch the current thumbnail and to scale the full size image in the background, replacing the temporarily stretched pixmap.
And here comes a (buggy) animated screenshot of the new RatingLabel widget. A stand alone version has been uploaded to The OSDaB Project.
Movida gets a smart view

down so I have no way to upadate the website for Movida (a cross platform
GPLed movie collection manager I started coding about 500 years ago).
This is a good excuse to start one of hopefully several posts on the development status of Movida. A public preview is expected for the
end of the month. This would be the first one since I started rewriting Movida to use the new Qt4.
Today I started working on a new view that will display movies and possibly other stuff in future.
Existing collection managers have two standard views: a details view (a trivial tree widget) and a quite useless icon view.
The main hassle with these views is the level of detail: the tree widget usually displays too much data on a single screen page (thus
resulting too distracting) whereas the icon view displays no information at all.
