Apparently in the 2.0 beta's the image viewer is at its fastest when it is outside the view hierarchy of the main app. I would like to propose a trick to make it look like the image viewer is part of the hierarchy.
The idea is to have a dummy image view inside the hierarchy. The real image view gets its position from that dummy view and is putting itself automatically on top of that view. For this to work there has te be some kind of fast communication mechanism between the dummy image view and the real one. What mechanism that is depends very much on the implementation details. If for instance the real image view is a separate process, one would imagine some kind of interproces communication mechanism. If the real image viewer is in its own thread, a posix signal could work.
Thanks for the suggestion, let's first see how the beta and stable will go. We'll definitely look at new suggestions after that, thanks!
