Inconsistency with *what*? Current behaviour is consistent with default KDE settings. Totally agree with Mikolaj. digiKam use KDE control panel to set mouse behaviours. This subject have already discuted in this room in the past. Gilles Consistent with the fact that depending on the rectangle you click in the the whole part the represent the picture you don't get the same things. As "KDE Settings" it happen that I don't run KDE but Gnome and just happen to use digiKam. So it is not consistent with the desktop either. Still have a usability problem. I was planning to send some suggestions about what could be added in the FAQ. I'll do it. This is one of the "problem" we should add in the FAQ. Some people use digikam but not KDE, so it could be useful to explain some issues about that. For this particular wish, IMHO, it should just be an entry in the FAQ : Q: When I click on a thumbnail, it opens the digikam editor, how can I disable that ? A: Start kcontrol then go to Peripherals/Mouse then choose "double-click to open files and folders" > I don't run KDE but Gnome
That is your problem.
Mikolaj, please, leave your trolls outside. They have NOTHING to do here. This is really your problem. At least it is problem of your distribution. If you decide to run KDE app in different environment you can ask Ubuntu to modify sources. Default version is OK. When I change kcontrol -> Peripherals/Mouse -> "double-click to open I think of konqueror . It never came to my mind that this could be used somewhere else. IMHO there remains a usability issue: - from the GUI it is not obvious that the thumbnail is treated as a file. - the border around thumb and name suggests that they form a unit. - expected behaviour: no matter where I click within a unit, I trigger the same event. I see two possible solutions: - find a way to make clear that the thumb is a file and not part of the name, e.g move name closer to thumb and don't draw the border; use konqueror look-and-feel - treat thumb and name as a unit: click=select; double-click=edit; mouse-over=properties I like the current look-(not so much the feel) and I think the second suggestion is easier to understand -> I prefer click=select; double-click=edit; mouse-over=properties Arnd, Mik, What we can do with this entry. For me it's not valid like icons behaviour can be set in KDE Control panel... Gilles Caulier I think the current behaviour is fine. Surely, "the border around thumb and name suggests that they form a unit." but this unit is composed of different components and one is the thumbnail. So - left click (outside of the thumbnail): select - left click (inside of the thumbnail): activate preview or editor (depending on the setting) Note that the mouse-pointer changes when moving over the thumbnail. I think what Fabien suggested in #c4 is sufficient, i.e. add a comment to the FAQ (unless it is already there ....). Best, Arnd FAQ entry : http://www.digikam.org/?q=node/145 Thanks Fabien. Well i close this entry now... Gilles Caulier |
