Nebula Gallery widget updates

January 11th, 2008

Here are the latest news of the Nebula Gallery widget :

JFace Viewer : a viewer is now available for the Gallery widget :
The widget can be used this way :

GalleryTreeViewer viewer = new GalleryTreeViewer(shell);
viewer.setContentProvider(contentProvider);
viewer.setLabelProvider(labelProvider);
viewer.setInput(new Object());

See SnippetGalleryViewerTester

Item-level font and color settings :
Each item can use a different font or color :

item.setFont( font );
item.setForegroundColor( textColor );
item.setBackgroundColor( backgroundColor );

Gallery Viewer snippet

Fixed H_SCROLL problems :
A gallery can be created using H_SCROLL and previous issues like partial redraws and margin problems are fixed.

Improved API : better consistency with SWT controls :
- getSelection() does no longer return null when nothing is selected.
- other small fixes.

Thanks to Peter Centgraf who contributed the jface viewer and several other patchs.

Gallery Navigator plugin :
I’ve also started to write an eclipse plugin which displays the current folder’s content in a Gallery. Images are loaded so you can get a quick overview right within Eclipse. Thumbnail size can be set in real time.

Hard drive failure

January 6th, 2008

This site and other like sharemedia-bugs.selfip.org where unavailable for some days due to a power outage that badly damaged the server’s hard drive.

I had to replace the drive, but hopefully the data where safe. Every site and Sharemedia nightly builds should be available again in the next few days.

Nice new year present from the french power company :-)
