PySide6 Category and Item Widget Enhancements

Job ID: 38411941

Budget: €8 – €30 EUR

### Freelancer Description for Milestone1

**Job Description:**

I need an experienced PySide6 developer to assist with Milestone1 for a private GitHub repository containing a custom widget system similar to the Widget Box in Qt Designer. The project involves updating UI styling, adding efficient filtering, creating a practical example, and refining scrollbar functionalities.

**Project Overview:**

The repository features a widget system where users can manage and organize categories and items. Key functionalities include category expansion and collapse, drag-and-drop for items, and a unified scrollbar similar to Qt Designer's Widget Box.

**Tasks for Milestone1:**

- **Styling:** Update the `CategoryBox` to match the Qt Designer's Widget Box categories, including adding small buttons with up/down arrows and ensuring consistent styling for both collapsed and expanded states.
- **Filtering:** Implement an efficient search/filter feature that performs well with a large number of categories and items.
- **Example Creation:** Develop an example (`examples/ex02_drag_and_drop`) demonstrating drag-and-drop functionality, JSON representation of items, and managing multiple lists in a `QMainWindow` with dockable widgets and a stacked widget as the central widget.
- **Scrollbar Improvements:** Remove individual scrollbars from each category and implement a unified scrollbar for the entire `ItemsBox`.
- **Serialization:** Add functionality to serialize and deserialize the state of the `ItemsBox`, allowing restoration of the widget's state at startup.

**Requirements:**

- Proven experience with PySide6 (please provide your GitHub profile or examples of relevant projects).
- Ability to clarify all issues and requirements before starting any coding.
- Reasonable pricing for this initial milestone.

**Next Steps:**

Once we agree on the initial discussion, I will grant you access to the GitHub repository and provide detailed issue descriptions. I will contact you directly to discuss the project further and finalize the details.

I will personally reach out to candidates who offer reasonable rates and have relevant experience. Please be prepared for a detailed discussion about the project.
