WISH: Show latest preview on current view

Not planned

Recently, the history of views is added as new functionality.

This is a very nice addition showing a preview of the image of the view selected as object on the current view.

However, on the same spot a message "Geen voorbeeld beschikbaar." is shown when no object is selected. This is understandable because it is the view you are currently working on and the image is real-time shown on the working canvas.

Thinking of a useful way to use this precious 'real-estate' on the screen I think it would be helpful to show the preview of the latest version of this same view so you can track what has been changed since you started working on this view.

The preview I mean is already available for the most recent history date when you select the tab "Geschiedenis" showing the image that goes with the history date selected.

Things are shown in the attached screen shots where "BlueDolphin Wish Voorbeeld Leeg - V01 - 2022-01-07" shows the default tab and "BlueDolphin Wish Voorbeeld Geschiedenis - 2022-01-07" shows the history tab.

  Hello Jan de Baat,

  Thank you for sharing your feedback on this feature.

  As I understand, the enhancement you describe would present the same view you are on with exactly the same information, but in the preview pane.

  Can you please confirm my understanding?

  Thank you.

  Hai Ameya,

  Your understanding is correct as far as you do not change anything on the view.

  As soon as you start working on the view, the canvas changes of course (as it would now) to reflect your changes, the preview view however will remain unchanged. This offers you the opportunity to view the changes as you progress with your work.

  Because the image in the right pane doesn't change while working on the view, it will prevent the necessity for additional calculation resources.

  Hope this explains what I mean.

  Thanks for asking.
