Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Unspecified OS: Linux It'd be nice to see the number of selected images in the thumbnail view: at the moment you only see the total amount of shown images and the only way to find out the amount of selected is to either 'manually', one-by-one counting or selecting 'view only selected'.
Do you have a real-world use case for such a feature? :)
One use case would be if a photographer committed to deliver a certain number of photographs to a client. This interface would make it easy to determine whether enough images have been selected. This would be more useful with a feature that allowed selecting images in image view. While tokens are reasonably convenient, it would be very handy to be able to add/remove an image from selection in the viewer. My current workflow is: 1) Keyword all images from the shoot in question. 2) Go into the thumbnail view on those images. 3) While in the viewer, apply a token to the images I'm interested in. 4) Leave the thumbnail viewer, and in the tree view select the token I applied. 5) Go into thumbnail view on that subset. Being able to set/unset the selected status in the image viewer, and then in the thumbnail viewer be able to apply additional properties or perform other operations on the selection, would be very convenient.
Other KDE apps also show the amount of selected files/images: Dolphin, Gwenview, ..
When viewing images you are able to remove images from the selection with hitting Del (Ctrl-Del to actually delete the images, unlike in ThumbnailView where Del oalone is used to delete). I wonder if this selection in Viewer mode should reflect the selection when quitting the image viewer and returning to thumbnail view. E.g. - Select first four images on ThumbnailView - Hit Enter to view them - Hit Del on one of them - Hit Esc to quit ImageViewer - The same four images are still selected on ThumbnailView. => Should the selection be updated in ThumbnailView to have only the three current images selected?
Created attachment 76874 [details] Add selection count to status bar I think having that info in the status bar is a nice idea. Can you try the attached patch and report back on it?
Patch committed to git/master (I messed up the commit-hook keyword).
