Bug 51276

Version:           3.0.3 (using KDE 3.0.5)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-4GB

When thumbnail (or preview) generation is enabled, Konqueror displays all icons first and then starts drawing the previews (which are usually much larger) on top of the icons. As the icons are not resized until all previews are drawn, the result looks quite ugly and renders part of the icons unusable until the final refresh.

I see two possible improvements:

- make the preview icon a fixed-size rectangle that is big enough to hold the preview, so you don't have to do any resizing when the thumbnails/previews are drawn (this is how Windows XP does it)

- resize the icon row whenever a preview that doesn't fit the row is drawn. This might be quite expensive though as you will have to rerender the icon view after every new preview icon that is added.
