Dear Jerome:

I would be very interested in this idea. I think it is a good idea too. I am not sure how to do it right now though.

Does it mean you are thinking I should be able to that ?
I just point out a possible missing function/modules...

Currently, Gramps seems to use thumbnails on report, and "sub-section" (if section set) thumbnails on Views. Why not using sub-section thumbnails as main code for generating/calling thumbnails ?

I thought to modify ThumbNails.py could do the job, but I do not know where thumbnails are stored or called and what is the starting point for coding !

I have try to call images for an other [Feature Request] : 0002472
I used the most quickly way, was not properly coded. Like you, to have one thumbnails function, class or module for displaying the same thing on screen and reports is something I would love to see on the next releases but unfortunatly as I do not fully understand, if this works, this will be more black magic than programming wise !

Looking at some existing patchs for GraphViz based reports 0002776 :

if mediaMimeType[0:5] == "image":
imagePath = ThumbNails.get_thumbnail_path(
Utils.media_path_full(self.db,
- media.get_path())
- )
+ media.get_path()),
+ rectangle=mediaList[0].get_rectangle())

maybe to modify all reports, should be possible too !

Detailed reports use :

ReportUtils.insert_image(database, doc, photo, w_cm=4.0, h_cm=4.0) :

    """
    Insert pictures of a person into the document.
    """

    object_handle = photo.get_reference_handle()
    media_object = database.get_object_from_handle(object_handle)
    mime_type = media_object.get_mime_type()
    if mime_type and mime_type.startswith("image"):
        filename = media_path_full(database, media_object.get_path())
        if os.path.exists(filename):
            doc.add_media_object(filename, "right", w_cm, h_cm)
        else:
            WarningDialog(_("Could not add photo to page"),
                          "%s: %s" % (filename, _('File does not exist')))
