I would like to suggest to show all images when a root-item is selected, such as "my tags" or "my albums". add on: - allow multiple selections (more than one album/tag/date) - add "without tags" in the tag view in combination with Bug 116606 this would be the perfect solution for me ;-) Christian, Root item is now used to display a welcome page like kmail or konqueror (available with future digiKam 0.9.1). We need to find an other solution... http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/Screenshots/digikam0.9.0-welcomepage.png Gilles Gilles, is something like this possible: - allow multiple selections - allow deselect of selected item, by pressing a second time then I would like to suggest to show the welcome page at the begining or when ever no item is selected, not even root. The user can allways come back to the welcome page by deselecting all items. IMHO hiding this feature in a menu is not as intuitive as selecting the root item in a tree view. Adding an item "all" only because root is occupied by the welcome page, hmmm, I don't know. I read these pages only once after the upgrade, then never again. The suggested solution would allow both. Christian I guess showing the welcome page in digikam does not make much sense, unless it provides useful actions for the user. Even the konqueror about page would not be useful if it didn't provide quick access to some pre-defined places (like the home folder, media devices, etc). My suggestion is to show the albums including a preview photo for each one (either being the photo set as key or a random image). This way we will be providing the user quick access to the information we manage in digikam: photos and albums. Created attachment 22385 [details]
iPhoto album view in action
Just as an example, this is the album view present in iPhoto.
Another interesting feature it has is the possibility of viewing other photos
from the album by moving the mouse over the album item.

Warning ! this is supposed to be patented by Apple.
Well, presumably it is nowadays impossible to write any software which does not touch patents in one or the other country. (I have a strong opinion about software patents, but that is irrelevant here;-). So from my point of view the best is not to bother (and know) at all about investigating them, as it is just a waste of time. Getting inspiration and suggestions from users having experience with other workflows is definitively welcome, and usually the actual approach/implementation will be done in the digiKam way, i.e. differently ;-). *** Bug 176005 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Definitively not the way to go in the future. We have re-implemented Welcome Page view to promote new features (as previous version) + a background photo from end user.
