For a presentation of holiday images I located all images. Now I want to show where we have been and how it looks there. So I start a map using the top toolbar. Fine, all images appear where they should but I cannot find a way to select an image an open it to show the audience this particular image. I consulted the manual and also cannot find how this is done. Therefore I don't know if there is a bug or I just do it wrong. From my intuition, I expected I can select an image in the map and open it by double-clicking on it or by right-clicking on it and choosing an appropriate option form the context menu. But there is no context menu. (I stumble over this missing context menu all the time.)
I change this to a wish. No, the map only shows an overview of the images from the current album on the map. Maik
There is already a wish in presentation to be able to display a map overlay while slideshow. Gilles Caulier

> There is already a wish in presentation to be able to display a map overlay while slideshow. This is not what I was searching for. What I need is: I click on the map on e.g. 3 images located at a castle. The images were taken on different days. Since the image date is not important but the place, I just want to click on the images in the map and open these 3 images and choose one by using the arrow keys. When I am ready, I can close the image view and see the map again. So imagine you worked for a half year abroad and you want to show your audience how the city looks like where you have been. Someone from your audience might e.g. say: "oh, there is a big botanical garden, how does it look there?" and you just select the images and show them. I found a workaround: - select the images in the map, then use Alt+F9 This opens a slideshow only with the selected images. This is however inconvenient because one needs two hands for this keyboard combination and one needs to stop the slide show (because one usually explains something for every image) and one cannot just jump between the selected images with the arrow keys.
(In reply to Uwe Stöhr from comment #4) > one cannot just jump between the selected images with the arrow keys. I see now that this issue is not reproducible. It seems that bug 388368 cause the problems for me preventing also the arrow keys from working correctly.
To search for images of a particular location, the map is used in the left sidebar. Maik
