Version: SVN: Version 0.10.0-beta2 (rev.: 832007) (using KDE 4.0.83) When rebuilding thumbnails, and switching to a different application, the Rebuilding Thumbnails window stays on top of the active window. The only way around this is to minimize Digikam instead of changing windows via Alt-Tab.
Created attachment 26117 [details] Half size screenshot illustrating problem.
I can't confirm this, neither does it stay on top in KDE3 desktop nor in KDE4. Switching between applications (in the same virtual desktop) hides digiKam and the rebuild dialog completely.
Might you have Compiz enabled? This was on KDE4.1b2 without Compiz. That partition has already been wiped, I intend to try to build to KDE 4.1rc1 next week. When I finish that I'll check if this problem persists. Last thought: were you using the mouse or keyboard to switch apps? I usually use the keyboard, and though I don't remember about this specific case, I will be sure to try both ways when I update the bug.
I switched with mouse and keyboard, and I have no compiz enabled or even installed. I always use the latest KDE4 SVN version, this one right now is from Monday. Andi
Here on FVWM, the window also does not stay on top. I.e. no problem! (As an (un?)related side remark: for both 0.9.x, and 0.10-svn the initial startup window stays on top of everything and on every screen; this can be pretty annoying when the initial scanning takes long. Is this is FVWM specific, or generally the case? If the latter, can one do something about it???)
@Arnd: Are you talking about the slash screen? The behaviour that you describe is common to all programs with a splash screen that I am familiar with, on every windows manager.
Hmm, interestingly, google-earth's splash screen behaves "better" IMO.
I think that a new bug should be opened for the splash screen, Arnd. Let's not hijack this one. When you file it, tell what you like about the Google Earth splash screen. Compare to other splash screens (other KDE apps such as K3B, non-KDE Qt apps such as Opera, GTK apps such as Open Office, wine apps, etc).
I can't confirm this too with current implementation from svn. Dotan, can you try with 0.10.0-beta6. thanks is advance... Gilles Caulier
The thumbnail rebuild dialog was recently changed to a non-model dialog. You can of course test with beta7, but if this is a lot of work wait until beta8 is out and report back then.
Marcel, Ah, i have forget this one. Of course now, with beta8, it's become fixed like we can reduce dialog. Gilles Caulier
