Browser - filelist - toolbar - improve customization

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.9.1 64bit
Windows11 (24H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Browser - filelist
follow-up on this suggestion to further improve customization

Suggestion A
  • add some flexibility to positioning of Filelist panel's toolbars
    • via option in View menu
      similar to View>Tab
    • via detachable functionality
      so they could be repositioned (top/bottom/sides)

      Especially taking into account this suggestion:
      Browser - filelist - toolbar - add metadata filters

      something like this:

      from qtpy.QtWidgets import (
    QApplication, QMainWindow, QDockWidget, QToolBar,
    QLabel, QWidget, QAction, QSizePolicy
)
from qtpy.QtCore import Qt
import sys

class DockPanel(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("Dock Panel Internal")

        # Toolbar 1 (top)
        toolbar1 = QToolBar("Toolbar 1", self)
        toolbar1.setMovable(True)

        # Action A
        toolbar1.addAction(QAction("Action A", self))

        # Spacer between A and B
        spacer1 = QWidget()
        spacer1.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.Expanding, QSizePolicy.Expanding)
        toolbar1.addWidget(spacer1)

        # Action B
        toolbar1.addAction(QAction("Action B", self))

        self.addToolBar(Qt.TopToolBarArea, toolbar1)

        # Toolbar 2 (bottom)
        toolbar2 = QToolBar("Toolbar 2", self)
        toolbar2.setMovable(True)

        # Action C
        toolbar2.addAction(QAction("Action C", self))

        # Spacer between C and D
        spacer2 = QWidget()
        spacer2.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.Expanding, QSizePolicy.Expanding)
        toolbar2.addWidget(spacer2)

        # Action D
        toolbar2.addAction(QAction("Action D", self))

        self.addToolBar(Qt.BottomToolBarArea, toolbar2)

        # Content area
        content = QLabel("Panel Content Area")
        content.setStyleSheet("""
            background-color: white;
            padding: 10px;
            font-size: 14px;
            border: 1px solid #ccc;
        """)
        self.setCentralWidget(content)


class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("QtPy Main Window with Fixed Dock")

        # Central content
        central_label = QLabel("Main Window Content")
        central_label.setStyleSheet("font-size: 16px; padding: 10px;")
        self.setCentralWidget(central_label)

        # Create dock widget
        dock = QDockWidget("Fixed Panel", self)
        dock.setAllowedAreas(Qt.LeftDockWidgetArea | Qt.RightDockWidgetArea)

        # 🔒 Make dock not detachable
        dock.setFeatures(QDockWidget.NoDockWidgetFeatures)

        # Set custom panel with two toolbars inside the dock
        dock_panel = DockPanel()
        dock.setWidget(dock_panel)
        self.addDockWidget(Qt.LeftDockWidgetArea, dock)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MainWindow()
    window.resize(800, 500)
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

  • merge Filelist Toolbar into Interface Toolbar tab
    to unify UI settings UI and improve customization
    so there can be any number of toolbars (via --NEW BAR--) and buttons can be easily repositioned
  • add stretchable Spacer
    to align buttons to the right/bottom
