10 years ago The implementation provided by 0x3b29 unfortunately showed huge performance problems with large collections. (Mainly due to HTML rendering issues that cannot easily be resolved).
After discussing these issues, we decided on the following solution:
- By default, a read only table without performance issues will be used to show the items (SWT based)
- This table allows to select single rows using a checkbox
- Finally, various actions such as bulk modification (accessible via buttons) will allow to manipulate the selected album items using 0x3b29's implementation.
Something asked by various testers is an additional "Spreadsheet" view similar to the way that Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc would present the data.
Amongst others, this would allow to browse albums in a condensed form (without the need to first export albums to HTML or CSVs)
Furthermore, such a grid based view would allow for easier editing and bulk additions of new items. The following screenshot is a minimalistic mockup of how this could look like:
As mentioned on the mockup itself, this gridview would not contain images such as the Album cover image...
