Description Arent 2003-10-04 10:52:18 UTC
Version:           0.17.1a (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 20030904 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.1-r1, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-gentoo-r7

I often must do multiple edit operations like rotating all images of the current (displayed) folder. While this is currently possible, there is (too) much clicking required.

Solution 1:
Provide icons "save", "rotate right", "rotate left",.. on the toolbar.

Solution 2:
Provide a configurable toolbar so any operation can be put on the toolbar.

Solution 3:
Provide a multiple-select feature, so edit operations will work not only on the displayed image, but on all selected images.

BTW: How about a scale operation? It's really basic so Gwenview should not miss it.

Solution 2 is implemented. In the 1.0.0pre1 you can edit the toolbar and put the 
button you want in it. 
Comment 2 Ian Monroe 2003-12-08 07:36:39 UTC
Just thought I'd vote for solution 3. Currently its not even apparent that it doesn't work this way, until the user makes multiple selections, rotates and discovers that only the currently shown image is rotated. And for lossless operations like rotate, I don't see why the saving can't happen without extra user input, though thats a seperate manner and not that important.

That's true. For lossless (and so reversible) operations is no need for extra user confirmation.

About the save notification, this can be disable simply by checking the "Don't ask me again" checkbox.
Anyway, as I told on the dot, I will implement this, hopefully in 1.0.1. Before that you can already rotate all your jpeg losslessly at once trought the external tools. This is how I did it:

- Put the attached script jpegtranall somewhere in your path.
- Start Gwenview and open the external tool configuration dialog.
- Define two external tools like this:
 - Rotate left: jpegtranall 270 %F
 - Rotate right: jpegtranall 90 %F

All done, you can now select multiple files, then right click them and select rotate left or rotate right from the "external tool" menu.

jpegtranall

Super simple script to run jpegtran on multiple files.

When copying image files between directories, and an image in the target
folder contains the same name as the one in the source folder, could be
one dialog showing the 2 images and suggesting appropriated names for the 
copied image? (like pixieplus from mosfet does)

Thanks!
Comment 7 Andrew "nording" Chernyak 2003-12-13 23:30:18 UTC
that would be nice to have an option for keeping original date/time of flie during lossless transform.
Comment 8 Aurelien Gateau 2003-12-14 23:47:26 UTC
Andre and Andrew, please post separate bug entries for your wishes :-)
Comment 9 Aurelien Gateau 2004-02-06 00:03:56 UTC
Multiple image rotation has been implemented in CVS.
