Version 1.5
This is version 1.5.
Small refactor release, mainly focusing on the problem with viewing many icons at a time
1.4 and older crashed when reaching a certain limit defined by physical memory. The icon window
has been paged up (introducing other problems not delt with at this time.)
A gaping memory leak was fixed in the viewer
Pending:
Icon window navigator for very big number of icons - button is there, doesnt do anything
Exif parser is done, but not integrated
Tagging from context menu in icon window
Much work on the viewer
Jpeg decoder is sorely needed
autoclose of singletons
Recurse-import #2
blacklist
on-demand database ressource control
backup/restore
INSTALLATION:
Win32: unzip, run pixgui.exe.
Linux: Check your
* Qt-environment. You need dev set. Use your favourite pack dealer or visit http://qt.nokia.com/downloads
* Berkeley DB Environment You need dev set. Pack dealer or visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/berkeleydb/downloads
* untar to somewhere, go there
* run "<path-to>/qmake". (fx /opt/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/473/gcc/bin/qmake)
* run "make"
* run "./pixgui"
Have fun, comments appreciated!

Version 1.4
This is version 1.4.
Many thing works, mostly in a stable way (but read on)
* More on the picture viewer. Needs a lot of extra work with decoding/loading speed. Has muliple issues.
* tagging
tagtree handling now implemented ca 100%: Rename, move, delete, create all ok.
icon context handling implemented ca 100%: tag, untag, gotoicon, gototag, copyclip all ok.
* Stuff
Autosize to display on startup
Next:
Almost done with exif parser
Known stuff
This version (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 as well) is hit by a litmit in qt's ability to handle pixmap'ed widgets,
meaning that pixgui crashes with no warning when more than ca 3000 pictures are fetched using a
tag or a similar number of pictures are fetched from a directory, and this tag is chosen for display.
Pending:
Exif implementation
autoclose of singletons
Recurse-import #2
blacklist
on-demand database ressource control
backup/restore
INSTALLATION:
Win32: unzip, run pixgui.exe.

Version 1.3
This is version 1.3.
Many thing works, things are stable (but read on)
* New picture viewer implemented. Needs a lot of extra work with decoding/loading speed, but is otherwise somewhat ok.
* tagging
tagtree handling implemented ca 90%.
icon tag handling implemented ca 100%
* Stuff
Recurse import. Very crude, almost not there.
Memory management and thread control optimisation
This version (1.0, 1.1, 1.2 as well) is hit by a litmit in qt's ability to handle pixmap'ed widgets,
meaning that pixgui crashes with no warning when more than ca 3000 pictures are fetched using a
tag or a similar number of pictures are fetched from a directory, and this tag is chosen for display.
In order to minimise the widget usage, focus will be on icon display in a coming version. For the next
one, jpeg decoding speed will be the issue.
Pending:
Icon display
Recurse-import #2
Exif implementation
Deletion of tags
blacklist
on-demand database ressource control
backup/restore
