Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) OS: Linux If you start Digikam's image editor and switch to full screen mode, there is no intuitive way to end the fullscreen mode. On the contrary, it might seem that you are locked in the full screen display without access to the rest of Digikam and the whole KDE desktop. The things you would intuitively resort to when you want to get out of the full screen mode back to the normal windowed desktop don't work: - "Escape"-key does nothing - context menu does not offer any possibility to switch back IMHO both of these options should be available. I consider myself not computer-illiterate, but I've yet to find a way to get out of the full screen mode without resorting to ksysguard... Reproducible: Always
You can leave Full Screen mode by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F but there is no way of knowing this once in full screen. I also think this a major issue. I had to close the program using Alt+F4 so I could find the keyboard shortcut to be able to exit Full Screen mode without having to close the program. Very basic and nasty usability issue.
Any progress on this issue? Just noticed that in current Digikam-versions there is still neither a commonly known shortcut nor a context menu to cancel the full screen mode. (Had forgotten about the un-intuitive three-finger-shortcut and was once again stuck...)
** push up ** Nobody interested in fixing this annoyance?
I've just tested this. For me there is always a toolbar in fullscreen mode with the button to switch back to normal mode. Don't you have this?
But what if you turn off the toolbar? Then it is gone of course :-)
For me it always pops back up in fullscreen.
Maybe it's a configuration option, but I don't have a toolbar in fullscreen mode. I've turned toolbar off and it does not reappear (which is kind of logical, I think). Moreover, it seems to be kind of a standard procedure to get out of fullscreen modes with "ESC" or an entry in the context menu, only Digikam does not have that, only the kind of awkward shortcut "CTRL SHIFT F".
I also don't have a toolbar. Never had one and I don't think I changed anything. I have been upgrading digikam for almost a year now, and it may be a left over configuration option from an older version. I can't even find an option to have a toolbar or anything else in fullscreen mode. I also think that just the "ESC" key option to get out would be a tremendous improvement over the present situation. The context menu option would be even better, and having a button somewhere in the top area of the window would be perfect.
