Album, not Folder Gilles Caulier I was debating between folder and album, but I agree that it should be Album. This is because the Album view shows not only folders, but groups of images by date, location, and tags. I've also made a few other changes to the menu, but instead of continuously reposting the entire menu after every little change I'll edit my KDE Interface and Design forum post to show revisions as they're made. http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=85644 I vote for albums and not folders. Even that they are same thing in techinical way, we use it different way in photographin. And albums is the place to store photos. This is now how I can see it as you wrote (needed to write it how it looks when you open the menu first time without sub-menus): ----------[File]---------- Import > Export > ---------- Print Print Assistant ---------- Rename Move to Trash ---------- Delete ---------- Properties Open With > ---------- Quit ----------[Edit]---------- View Mode > Fullscreen Slideshow > ---------- Zoom In Zoom Out Acutal Size Fit to Window ---------- [ ] Show Thumbbar [ ] Show Left Sidebar [ ] Show Right Sidebar ---------- Include Sub-Trees ----------[Albumb]---------- Back > Forward > New Refresh Sort by... > ----------[Image]---------- Sort by... > Group Images > ---------- Rotate > Flip > Tag > Rating > ---------- Metadata > Location > Adjust Date & Time ----------[Tools]---------- Search Find > Rebuild Thumbnails Rebuild Fingerprints ---------- Image Editor Light Table > Batch Queue Manager > Create Calendar ---------- Convert to Black and White Red-Eye Removal Border Images Color Images Convert Images Image Effects Filter Images Recompress Images Resize Images Blend Bracketed Images DNG Converter Batch RAW Converter ---------- Components Information Database Statitcs ----------[Settings]---------- [ ] Main Toolbar Toolbars Shown > ---------- Change Theme > Configure Shortcuts Conrigure Toolbars Configure digiKam (not Digikam) ----------[Help]---------- What is This? Tip of The Day DigiKam Handbook Kipi-Plugins Handbook ---------- Report a Bug Contribute Donate ---------- About digiKam About KDE ----------------------------------------------- "Scan for New Images (Does same thing as 'Refresh' in Folder Menu)" But does refresh in album menu update the album or just the collection or all collections? Because now the Refresh only refresh the current album and not all the collections like the Scan new Images. We have two different functions what to use. "OpenGL Image View (Practically same thing as slideshow)" Yes practically but other needs 3D enabled to be a fast. Other does not and is without effects. I have now being thinkin this and I see that Import and Export menus should be kept alone as own menus. It is easier to use and it allows simpler text in them. If we would call menu like "Export to" and "Import from", we could drop off the repeated "to" and "from" text from menu. And we can not bring the "file" menu because it is better if we do not manage files but just photos. We can this way drop away from the file-oriented UI and stay on task-oriented UI. = We do not transfer files but we transfer photos. I am not sure about the idea to include "Email photos" to export menu because it is more sending than exporting. And the Album menu looks for me it overlaps someway the View and Image (what I think should be as "Photo"/"Selection") and few other menus. Example now KDE is planning to move many entries from Settings to View, like toolbars and menubar options. Supreme, This file still valid using digiKam 2.4 ? Gilles Caulier The digiKam Album GUI menu have been already fixed in the past. The changes proposed in this files have been followed a little bit. Other one do not respect GUI ergonmy and KDE GUI style. I close this file now... Gilles Caulier |
