Hi, there was somewhere a bug report in the past that leeds to the current system that you can click on the thumbnail to start the viewer and clicking at the frame of a thumbnail selects a photo. During that discussion I proposed the every further click on other frames create a selection group. Clicking between frames should delete the selection group. I still think that my suggestion far more usable than the current single selection system. Having an additional input element is also a good solution, as it is very visual, does not need an unwanted double click action logic and is already known in web pages like web front ends to galleries or databases. If the checkbox is small enough your solution does also not more space than the current album view. Bye Thorsten still valid in latest digikam really adding checkbox would be very usefull. Many people doesn't knwo about CTRL tricks. Fabrice, It's impossible to do it before 0.9.0-final planed at Christmast , because all is frozen. Gilles :( I should have wake up earlier about this one and not wait 5 month. Sorry, this would have been cool. BTW digikam 0.9 will be a very good release, thanks for all the hard work. I will ping you agin after 0.9 release. Just a ping to remind digikam dev about this feature now that 0.9.0 is out :) While at Solutions Linux in Paris, someone gave also another possibility for the selection which will introduced only minimal code change : persistent selection. Indeed when the user select an image, then the image is selected but this selection is persistent. It means that even if the user click on another image, the previous one is still select. To unselect an image, the user just need to click one more time on the image. 1 click = select 2 clicks = unselect As rc1 is approaching, what about thoses proposals ? checkbox vs persistent single click to select an image in the Camera GUI. I open another bug report ( http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141087 ) to allow people to see informations about an image without having to select it. just to remind people about this feature before 0.9.2 release. As I already said, many people don't know shortcut ( CTRL and SHIFT usage ), so selcting severals people may be an issue. So adding a checkbox, or using persistant selection will allow for theses first-time user to do this easily I would like to see this implemented in the main window of Digikam as well. BrilliantPhoto had this ability, and it is one of those differences that make the program much easier to use (especially for heavy taggers, like myself). Shall I open a separate bug to have this in all of Digikam, or can the title of this bug be changed? Now that Dolphin has this functionality, might it be easier to add to Digikam by reusing part of Dolphin's code? This functionality will make downloading and organizing pictures much easier and less error prone. Dotan, No. this is not easy. digiKam still use QT3 transitions classes to display icon view. Marcel has planed to do a pure QT4 port use model/view programming later than 0.10.0 (as Dolphin), but in current QT3 code, there is the substance and the history of digiKam, which is different of Dolphin. Porting this code will take a while to be sure to not lost features. Of course, we will look how Dolphin handle selection... Gilles Caulier I see. I thought that 0.10 was a full Qt4 implementation. No problem, we can wait until everything is ported to Qt4. Thanks! To be more precise there still 3 classes which are not yet ported as pure Qt4 : - thumbbar (i will try to port this one before 0.10.0 final if possible) - icon view to render icon on middle area - folder view to render album treeview on left sidebar Gilles Caulier Note that this is related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127753 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 127753 *** Fixed with https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127753 |
