Description
Having the QAP in lighttable could potentially be quite useful. A slightly hare-brained idea, perhaps, inspired by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BMNF2Tx6v4
Not sure how technically feasible it is, but considering the small size of the thumbnails, performance might not be too bad.
