- If no image is selected the preview area should display the "No
preview" image with "No selection" as text.
Agreed
- Use thumbnails if they are available. That will make the preview
faster, if the images are big.
Having tested it, I tend to disagree. My machine is not too fast, but the preview generation is surprisingly fast even for very complex files (fraction of a second even for the advanced tutorial). Opening the dialog itself takes longer. On the other hand on-the-fly previews have the advantage of being always up to date and leaving no garbage on the disk.
- Do not allow images to resize the preview area.
They do not resize it now. Except that when the filename of the image is too long - in that case it pushes the preview widget wide (at the expense of the file list). This must be fixed.
- Look at the Gimp open dialog and make it look similar. ;-)
Err, what advantages does it have that we don't? From the look of it, I'd say that ours is better if only due to the filename entry field.
