Description Julien Narboux 2006-02-03 19:54:37 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I have quite many albums in my album tree.
It would be easier imho if you had the possibility that
 when you double click on a album it would just display the children of 
this album like in a file browser.

Can you explain, what you mean in more detail. I don't see the difference to the current behavior.
Comment 2 Julien Narboux 2006-02-13 16:02:15 UTC
What I mean is a behaviour like in gqview.
Currently the tree structure is displayed as a tree with some hidden subtrees marked by a small cross. 
What i would prefer is just the same except that when you double click on an album say 'foo' which has some childreen say 'a' , 'b' and 'c' then the root of the tree displayed becomes the album 'foo' instead of the root of digikam database and it show ".." "a" "b" "c".
The ".."  item at the top is used to go up in the tree (cd ..).

Example :
I have some directories with albums inside: Friends, Familiy, Travel
Each of them contains > 50 albums.
If I double click on Family it would be nice to have only the sub albums of Family displayed.

Regards

Definitely not option. Implement this or not but not add another option

Julien,

Sound like the new recursive sub-album function implemented in new 0.9.3... Right ?

Yes, it's the recursive feature here.

I close this file now. It's implemented in 0.9.3

Gilles, 

I just tried the new rc1. It is not exactly what I meant. What you implemented is useful when you have an album with many sub-albums containing a few pictures. You can have a quick view of what they contain.

What I meant was quite the opposite. I suggested not a change in the view of the album content but a change in the album's tree.

When you have many many albums, it is not very convenient to browse the whole tree, sometimes you want to focus in a subalbum.
For instance you want to clean up your Familly picture. It would be nice if one could double click on the family album and then Digikam displays only the subtree of Familly on the left plus a button ".." to go up of one level in tree.

I will attach a screenshot of gqview to show what I mean.

Comment 8 caulier.gilles 2007-12-04 11:25:46 UTC
Julien,

This feature already exist : press "+" icon on the left of parent album to display the child albums behind... The icon view content is not changed.

No need to re-invent the wheel (:=)))
