Using 0.9.4 (recent svn), I ran into this one again... It's quite irritating when you're showing your family some photographs and they have to endure an un-rotated raw image (low-res thumbnail) before they can see the normal rotated JPG. Simply looking at the file-type filter would already be a big help! Cheers Simon Simon, No, un-rotated raw image depand of wrong Exif rotation tag recorded to Raw file. Thanks to camera maker to fill properlly these informations. Also, unforget than thumbs != RAW and orientation can be different and not homogenous. Sometimes standard Exif tags is used, sometimes Exif Makernotes is used (undocumented), sometimes no public area is used. So, RAW is a mess. With digiKam for KDE4, we will store a rotation flag in database about Thumbs orientation. Gilles Caulier Gilles, sorry for my side-remark about the RAW and rotation ;-) I've no idea where Sony stores the rotation info in alpha100 images... Back to the topic, I store the RAW files in the same place as the JPG, which is what I think is the intended place when using digikam, right? That means I have albums with "double" images, both the RAW and the JPG (since I shoot RAW+JPG, I have both all the time). My original point was and is that the slideshow function doesn't use the information of the album file-type filter (which was new since 0.9.3) to select which images to show in the slideshow. Especially when selecting an album with sub-albums for a slideshow, there doesn't seem to be a way to filter out the RAW images from the set to be displayed. I hope this explains more clearly what I meant... Cheers Simon Wouldn't it be better to have the ability to select pictures from multiple sub-album? Like the "hold" box in Picasa. And then the picture selection filters should rather be in the main application, now in the slideshow plugin. The slideshow plugin would then simply display what you've selected. Same effect, different way. What do you think? If you agree, please change component to Album GUI. Dennis, I think your suggestion is valid, but not the same as my original report/request. Perhaps I misunderstand, but your comment suggests something like a playlist feature, which I think is an often requested item for digikam... My point was different in that I'd like to be able to select or filter images for viewing (either in slideshow or in the album view) using logical operators like and/or/xor and perhaps regular expressions in the filter line or the advanced slideshow dialogue. I'd like to match things in either the filename or the tags and probably other metadata of the images. Is this report still valid? We are able to show only the filtered images in a slideshow? With current implementation from git/master, Slideshow only show image filtered from icon-view. Gilles Caulier |
