If one selects a bunch of images (e.g. via CTRL+left mouse) in the album view and then invokes "Batch process" all the selected images show up in the list. (Of course, one can still then use Add/Remove) Does this do what you want? If so, this bug should be closed. No, it's not what I had in mind. CTRL+left mouse is too poor of an interface for this. One wrong click, and an elaborate selection of photos that one meant to batch process disappears. I see. For more complicated selections I use a temporary tag. Selecting this tag (in the left-hand side-bar) brings up all images which were marked this way. Pressing CTRL-A selects all of them, so that one can then use them in the batch process. Is this better? And if not what would be a better way to achieve what you have in mind? If using the already implemented tagging is an option, maybe using a single key shortcut for such a tag would be fastest? That's actually great. I think it accomplishes exactly what I want. Thanks! I wonder if LightTable could be used for this. Hm, that too is a great idea. Is there a way to batch add photos from the LightTable? The Light Table is not dedicaced for batch processing.... ..But i have plan to add a new Batch Queue Manager tool in digiKam.... Gilles Caulier Also in the light-table the tagging side-bar is available (actually two of them, one for the left and one for the right image). So it could be used as well. However, to populate the light-table, the images have to be marked in the album view and then added via F6. So I am not sure whether this will help a lot for the original task. Dmitriy, once you have tried the suggested approach, and it works well for you, it would be great if you could close this bug (unless you have further suggestions, which are of course very much appreciated!). Best, Arnd Closing in favor of the temporary tag resolution. |
