            well you can use a dropbox for selecting it and
            draw a preview in a other frame etc.
            and if you need a grid of images, then listview icon mode still should
            work ok.

                  you mean playing videos?
                  A grid of small videos that all play?

                      Hi
                      Maybe you can use http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmovie.html
                      if the previews are simple enough.

                            Hi
                            Yes that would work but judging from your other posts it has to be mp4 etc and im not sure how to easy extract one image to use in preview. I think
                            http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/videooverview.html
                            can be used for that.
