Actually, the implementation use the preview extraction mechanism from multithreaded File IO management of Marcel. This part use Qt image interface, not Digikam::Dimg.

Added a new option in LT GUI to handle the full image is trivial, but the multithreaded File IO management need to be patched to load the full image with Qt and not the reduced version.

Important : loading the full image with Qt have limitations :

- It's Slow (of course), especially with huge image (TIFF/PNG)
- It's do not support RAW image.
- No color management. The image is always displayed under sRGB color space.
- No feedback during loading.

In fact, we cannot reproduce the same way to manage image file with Image Editor under Lt using Qt...

Note than i think than color management is not necessary with LT.

Solution : using DImg instead Qt in LT.

Marcel, give me your viewpoint. Thanks in advance
