Display series according to grid(window) layout

[duje dusa]

Hello!

I'm new to this community and first of all I would like to thank you for your hard word and contribution, you did an excellent job!

Is it possible, in Weasis, to automatically load series according to chosen window layout? E.g. selecting 1x2 Views automatically loads first serie to first window and second serie to second window etc.

It would be really helpful to know if there is already a option to do this and if there is not, how can I try to implement this in code. Thank you in advance for your time!

Best regards!

P.S. here is a sample picture to what I'm trying to achieve.

It's been on the todo list for a while to have rules similar to hanging protocols.

However, it is possible to double click on the thumbnail and the view in which the image arrives will automatically move. It is also possible to select several series (thumbnails) and right-click to open the most appropriate layout.

Dear Nicolas,

thank you for clarifying the functionality of series division. This type of behaviour is exactly what I'm looking for.

Actually, I want to add custom tool bar button which would represent some grid layout (for example 1x2) and when clicked, it would do the following:

- act as I selected two series

- right-clicked and selected "open".

Practically, it would clone the behaviour you explained in second sentence.

If it's not too much to ask, where can I find code implementation so I can try to implement this myself.

I'm aware that this task could be a tricky one and also that I'm maybe asking too much but any guidance is so much appreciated.

Thanks again for your time, it's already too much to ask for.

Best regards!

Unfortunately, I can't respond to all requests. My priority is to support open-source developments that contribute to the common effort to improve Weasis.

Once a layout will be open, what are the rules for selecting series in the views?

To handle automatic rules like hanging protocols it requires managing the layouts (and the number and the position of screens) in the open tab function. Currently, it is not the case. The difficulty is that all the download and loading processes are asynchronous and in parallel. So it's not easy to apply rules consistently.
