Version: 0.9.4 (using 3.5.10, Debian Package 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-1 (lenny/sid)) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-1-686 I confirm I am seeing this behavior with digikam 0.9.4. In fact is there an option, or a way to make the photo's appear? I shall attach a ksnapshot.

It's not reproductible here. Start digiKam from a console and post all messages in this file. Gilles Caulier
Ok, Use the bottom of time line cursor to perform a date range selection. You can find more info in my blog : http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/293 Gilles Caulier
Just discovered a problem with the timeline view in 0.9.5: Select a time range, it will display images. Now change the time range, nothing will happen. You have to either switch to another tab (album / tags) and come back or you need to clear the selection with the button and re-select the range. I think there is a signal missing. Andi
Gilles, Thank you for #3, yes it is indeed a usability issue, I have been clicking on the top/middle rectangles and I suspect Arnout has been doing the same. Perhaps the boxes on the bottom could be made into check boxes, or something intuitive to click otherwise others will have similar issues. Or by default once check box is selected at the start, so some pictures are presented. Also perhaps the section from your blog could be included in the user manual.
Same issue here. I've tried to click on the bars for quite some time until I began to search for a bug report and found this. I believe most users will click on the columns rather than the letters under them.
Especially since clicking on the column does select it, even though it doesn't actually show any pictures in the results area.
SVN commit 984196 by cgilles: TimeLine widget : draw flicker rectangle around time selection date below X axis. Now, with flicker effect, this bring users to see where they can take date selection. Note : Only bottom of vertical band is used to perform selection. the rest of band, upper X axis can be move to naviguate on time line without to take selection. Why ? To see and check date an number of items from histogram displayed on the top. Kphotoalbum use also this behavour with timeline.
