Description Kamo 2020-02-27 14:40:09 UTC
SUMMARY

Sites that feature Masonry layouts, for example.
https://enviragallery.com/demo/masonry-gallery-demo/
https://neptunian.github.io/react-photo-gallery/

Currently digikam thumbnails are 1:1 aspect ratio which leaves empty spaces if the image has different aspect ratio. On the other hand, the Masonry layout is "a grid layout based on columns(or rows). Unlike other grid layouts, it doesn't have fixed height(or width). Basically, Masonry layout optimizes the use of space by reducing any unnecessary gaps." It would be great if digikam supports this layout too.

Take note that masonry layout can be either horizontal or vertical, just as shown on second site I linked. So there would be normal layout(1:1), masonry layout(row) and masonry layout(column). It would also be useful if each album remembers the assigned layout.
