Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.3) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux Most of the times, the first image on a album isn't which better "describes" the whole album. I would like to change the album's thumbnail (by default, the first photo) by an arbitrary photo inside the current album. It could be archieved by right-clicking a photo and checking an option called "album's thumbnail", for instance.
I think that this feature could be a good complement for "[ 987952 ]Manual order by drag'n drop" wish but not a substitute. One may think that this wish (88687) can be accomplished by 987952 (by drag & dropping the desired image on first place on the album), but this approach is far less flexible than implementing both wishes (the first image could break the desired order), isn't it ?
CVS commit by jahrens: * Added an item ("Set as Album Thumbnail") to the context menu in the thumbnail view to select a particular image as the album thumbnail - to let the user choose his own thumbnails for the albums. * Furthermore I've changed the album thumbnail creation completely. The image path, from which the album thumbnail was created is now stored in the digikam database. To create these new album icons, the user has to browse through his albums. The first readable image will be used as the default icon. Then he can change the album thumbnail to an images he likes (with the context menu as described above). This is not the best solution to create the new thumbnails, but we decided not to add too much special code to the application which is only needed for the first run after an upgrade. * ToDo: the same for the tag icons album.cpp | 6 ++ album.h | 1 albumdb.cpp | 2 albumfolderview.cpp | 122 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- albumfolderview.h | 10 ++-- albumiconview.cpp | 106 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- albumiconview.h | 3 - albummanager.cpp | 22 +++++++++ albummanager.h | 5 +- thumbnailjob.cpp | 3 - thumbnailjob.h | 2 11 files changed, 219 insertions(+), 63 deletions(-) CCMAIL: 88687-done@bugs.kde.org M +1 -1 albumiconview.cpp 1.81
The selected thumbnail does appear as the album thumbnail within digikam; as expected. But if a HTML export is done then the exported album does not have the selected thumbnail...
Bug confirmed.
Open a bug for the kipi-plugin imagesgallery.
