I've since noticed that the saved searches also use the same icon and font size settings. I don't think it makes sense to for the icon size to apply where photos cannot be used for icons. The only reason I would make the icons bigger would be if they were photos that I wanted to be able to recognise. As the search list just shows a binoculars icon, I would never want to make it any bigger, as it just means that I can see less saved searches for no benefit at all. Hum. Tags and albums folder view share the same model implementation to factoring and simplify code. If we start to separate GUI options for both, we will increase complexity of application and GUI HFE will be weird. So, i vote for no to this file... Gilles Caulier |
Version: 1.0.0-rc1 (using KDE 4.3.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages The sizes of the icons and fonts in the album tree and the tag tree are set by the same options. However, I have five times more tags than I have albums and the tag tree is shown in a smaller panel on the screen (when setting tags). I want to be able to see more tags at once (e.g., all the tags for the members of my extended family when tagging photos from a family occasion), but still have recognisable album images (to make things pretty). The tag icons are shown within another icon representing a "tag" and my selected tag images are cropped to fit, that makes them harder to recognise. They need to be made much bigger to be useful, but then too few tags fit on the screen at once. I would like there to be options to: a) Get rid of the "tag" icon that encloses the image I select for a tag. Perhaps use a tiny tag icon overlaid on a corner of the selected image icon to avoid confusing tags with albums. Stop cropping my selected tag image. (The default icon for a tag at present is the same "tag" icon, so I get two of the same icon, one nested in the other, just wasting precious space.) b) Set the icon size and font of the tag tree views separately from the icon size and font of the album tree view. c) I could make all the album and tag images smaller if they images were "zoomed" automatically when the mouse rolls over an album or tag item. Then I would not be bothered as much by b).
