Description step247 2009-05-27 12:32:15 UTC

Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

please add option to disable auto scroll in image view icon bar. 
Lest say I have 15 images in the folder. 
I view the first one. Now I have the scroll bar at the bottom, to see the next i can select it from the scroll bar, nothing moves on icon bar - OK, by me. 
When I select the 6th image, the scroll bar starts to jump left or (right, depends what image I select next). 
It is not helping me to select images especially if you select a 3rd+ image from left or riht of the previously selected one! This is really annoying btw.

Some questions:
1. Which thumbbar do you mean? The one in the image preview, in the image editor, or all?
2. What do you mean with icon bar?

Right now I don't clearly understand your use case, a more detailed description, especially which components of the gui you mean, would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

We only have one thumbbar class :D
He is talking about the fact that the currently selected thumbnail in the bar will be centered, which, by the way, do all apps I tested so far.
Adding another option to the already MUCH to heavy setup dialog will not help here.

Why doesn't "auto-scroll" help you select images?
Otherwise you need to grab the scrollbar and move around all the time (or use the mouse wheel instead).

Andi, I'm confused about the fact that he "can select multiple images" with this thumbbar. And having one class doesn't meant that the workflow is appreciated everywhere it is used.

Comment 4 Andi Clemens 2009-10-22 12:07:26 UTC

He is not saying that he selects multiple images.

Sometime i'm happy with thumbbar auto-scroll, sometime no.

I would to know how other application work in this case...

Anyway, it's simple to disable it. This call perform item repositionning in thumbbar :

I don't like autoscrolling as well. Maybe the behaviour should be different if one use a key shortcut or mouse click...

Please close this FR. This annoyance was removed long time ago (or disabled by default)
Thank you.
