Bug 186672

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In the Thumbnails view of Digikam one can move the zoom slider to change the size of the thumbnails, and by changing the size of the thumbnails one can fit more or less thumbnails on a row. However, this lets the user choose thumbnail sizes that are smaller than the largest possible size for a given number of thumbnails per row. Thus, the slider should change the amount of thumbnails per row (and according to that have the size of the thumbnails generated) as opposed to changing the size of the thumbnails (and according to that have the amount of thumbnails per row).

For instance, if the row is 1000 px wide then the slider should only make thumbnails of 500, 333, 250, 200, 166, 142, 125, 111, and 100 pixels wide. Thumbnails of width 255 are useless: they show less information than thumbnails of width 333, but no more of them fit on a row than thumbnails of width 333.

Of course, I am not taking into account the borders and margins, and the real algorithm for determining legal thumbnail widths should account for this.
