Version: 0.10.0-rc1 (using KDE 4.1.96) Installed from: Gentoo Packages The rating filter in the status bar is not changeable and does not show the current filter, if the rating is not shown below image thumbnails in album view. BTW: The tooltip is fine - it stills shows the current filter. To reproduce: settings -> digikam -> album view -> disable show digikam-rating. BTW2: I stumbled on this problem, because of the new "change rating in thumbnail" feature. I used it by accident far to often, so I wanted to disable this. So, this bug report includes also a wish: Please make this feature optional. :-)
I'm afraid this is a feature, you can only use the quicksearch for elements shown in the iconview.
Andi, Gilles, I am wondering if this restriction is necessary. There is no technical reason, we could just enable filtering. It can be irritating if filtering is done on a property that is not displayed. But on the other hand it can be irritating that a filter does not work. The rating and the text filter, the latter a bit more complex, are affected. Viewpoints? So depending on this decision, this bug is either WONTFIX or will be easily fixed.
We had discussed this some months ago, I also don't quite understand why filtering is only working on displayed elements. For me it would be more logical to just search on every possible field. For example text quick search: If you do not display the image name, you are not able to filter anything (or maybe on the folder name, I have not tested it). I do understand that if filtering works for rating but the stars are not displayed, you can not be sure if everything is filtered correctly. But still this is more user friendly then disabling it completely. You might never find out by yourself why the filter is "broken". If I wouldn't know what can cause this problem, I would never think of that activating the displaying of the rating stars will also activate the quickfilter. If we want to disable it, I think it would be even better to hide the widget completely. But overall I would suggest to ignore these restrictions, at least for the rating widget. My suggestion for now: - filter ratings, even if the stars are not displayed - text filter works on every possible field (file name, folder name, tags etc) Andi
Marcel, I'm agree to remove these restrictions. Gilles
