This is my choise to disable the scrollbar to optimize the width to display metadata without to have a large sidebar. If you want to scroll the content, just use the mouse wheel or use pageup/pagedown keys when you get the focus into th metadata content. Tip : if you choise an item in the list, and if you change the current image, the list will trying to find the same metadata key from thenew image and select it by default. This way is very powerfull to compare image metadata. Gilles Caulier Sorry, this is completely unintuitive and goes against basic usability principles. In fact, this is a choise taken between me and other digiKam user to optimize space to use to display metadata value in sidebar with a small sidebar width. I would to have some others viewpoints about usability of this part. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier This is an usability problem of GUI Gilles usability is simple: put the scroll bars. Putting smaller one could save some pixel, and only show them if they are needed. Something else could be to also reduce the font size used. I would do that. I have to admit that I wasn't aware I could scroll this view till now. I have not used it extensively, I have usually the short display. But yes, it is unintuitive IMO. On the other hand, I accept your point about horizontal space. Screen space is valuable. Hm, I dont know. And also, I forgot: I don't have a mouse wheel... nor even a mouse on that computer. and pageup/down does not work as you describe SVN commit 773609 by cgilles: digiKam from trunk (KDE4) : Port K3ListView to QTreeWidget. Now we have a vertical scroolbar available if necessary...
