Description Nadav Kavalerchik 2009-02-17 18:16:57 UTC 
Version:           0.10.0-rc1 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.26-1-amd64

enable the insertion of "unicode control chars" in the caption box (top-right) so i can have a hebrew description justified to the right (if i insert and RTL hidden unicode control char). currently, there is a dictionary menu when i right click the caption content (which is great !). maybe you can add to that menu ?

kde has this feature almost every where in any simple text box (i think) i am not sure if it is propagating from QT or is it KDE's feature thou.

unicode character

This is a default KDE input widget, we can not do anything about it. Anyway the entry is in there, see screenshot.

Which KDE version are you using?

Have you misspelled a word? If so the dictionary will pop up! :-)
Please make sure you are not clicking on a misspelled word.

I will close this one again, since it is no digiKam bug (and not even KDE)

you are sooooo right :-) 

i was typing hebrew words and the auto speller was on for english dictionary which turn every word into a mis-spell and did not let me use the original right click menu i see every where in kde (i use kde 4.2 /debian).

anyways, i turn auto speller off and got the "unicode control" menu back

btw, trying to insert special RT?? codes to make the entire text box justify to the right did not help. but i guess it is not digikam specific, but a kde general issue.

thanks :-)
