Outstanding work this week was done on:
First visible effect of porting to Qt4 model list view: overlays over image thumbnails. When hovering with mouse over "plate" user will see small icons for loss-less rotating of image, rating, selection and probably more in future. Icons are faded in and out with nice looking animation, also rating widget interaction was improved.
