Hi Christian

Yes, I might have to use TreeView instead of the intiial mockup.

For reference here is my initial reasoning to not use TreeView:

TreeView has the disadvantage that it doesn't scale horizontally: How
many categories are visible at a time depends totally on the vertical
window size. Ideally groups of categories should be shown side by side
to fill the available horizontal space as well. With a 1920x1080
monitor you should be able to fit about 3 times more categories on
screen, without scolling.

I don't *yet* know how feasable that sort of thing is with Qt. I'll
try some things and if all else fails I'll use TreeView.
