Below are two variants of wireframes that represent keyword search results.

good discussion material! Could we have a design sketch with the current result density and inclusion of partial thumbnail results? We will always have some results not having thumbnails and years of transition I fear.

For this particular situation, I propose using a placeholder, based on the file's extension (auto-generated picture).

We discussed it with @xoriole and @kozlovsky.

Is it gonna be infinite-scrolled or paginated?

synctext commented 3 years ago

infinate scroll is now the industry best-practice.

Well, it depends... Google still uses pagination. The consensus here is that infinite scroll is better for variable-size items (e.g. Pinterest) and user engagement (e.g. Google Images), while pagination is better for navigation (e.g. Google search, webshops).

However, the biggest problem we got here is that infinite search is, ahem, infinitely slower with QT when implemented with standard widgets, because for every added widget the QT reactor adds all the necessary triggers, etc.

Given the latest GUI rework, this issue is no longer relevant.
