Oh that sounds helpful.
Is the project on git or still private ?

Ok, i hope u get some time.

Thx

@mrjj
yes, it's on git but also it's private :)

It's not determined yet if it will be a commercial or an open-source product in the end.
Beta testing will be free though. ;)

Nevertheless i created the topic now and will post any news there in the future for everyone who is interested.

Maybe Flow can suit You?

As far as I can see Flow doesn't work with a model like Gridview does.

@Curtwagner1984
And what if to squeeze Repeater inside the Flow?

I don't know. Gridview creates and destroys delegates as needed. If I'll put a repeater in Flow and I have let's say 500 images, they would all have to be loaded to memory.

I've already tried a Repeater with dynamically changed model size. Seemed to work and when size was decreased items were deleted (I believe...)
But better I will not mess You up. This is already out of my experience.

Can you elaborate a bit more about how and what you did, so that I may try it too ?

[SeeLook]

If I were You, I might try something like this:

Flow {
  Repeater {
    model: yourData.length
    Image {
      source: yourData[index]
      sourceSize.height: 200 // or other fixed value
    }
  }
}

If yourData is QStringList or just QML array of strings, it can be directly set as a model of the Repeater:

 model: yourData

and accessible inside Image this way:

source: modelData

I hope this is some clue for You

@SeeLook

This could work... I'll have to check if it disposes of elements that aren't visible.

[SeeLook]

There has to be Flickable that wraps all...

[Curtwagner1984]

@SeeLook Looks like the model can be a QAbstructListModel which is exactly what I use...
It's interesting, I'll try this out.

Other problems are the insert and remove function that GridView supports, as well as the shouldfechmore and fetchmore functions. (implemented inQAbstructListModel)
