Hi,
Has anyone developed a 'light table' display of the images
in DSpace? This would be different from the thumbnail next to the object
title that we can display now. What we have in mind is an array of
thumbnails returned from a search with a short title of that image
itself. Similarly browse images would show all the images in such an array
of thumbnails. (Think of the icon display on your desktop--with thumbnails
instead of icons) We are being asked if we can develop such a capability
and are wondering if this is being done or contemplated anyplace else.
Thanks.
Marcy

Hi Marcy,
Initially I was looking at doing something similar for multi-image bundles and as an alternate browse (specifically for image collections), however I didn't manage to get around to it since I associated this sort of feature with configurable interfaces - something we (i.e. ANU) thought would be better pursued as part of v2.0. It's certainly possible, and a quick way to achieve this may be to stick a filter servlet above the normal browse servlet to take the browse results and reformat them - just separate the browse servlet away from the browse JSP then you have a better separation of the information retrieved and the way it's displayed.
Scott.
