This is the automatic completion mode which is taken from the kde globals as a default. You can change it eg. to "dropdown list" via a right click on the filter bar -> completion mode. Those items in completion mode always didn't quite make sense to me (name are somewhat counter-intuitive). However it seems using 'semi-automatic' (translated from my language here) does the trick. I'm not sure how is that it have any relation to the tag tree but it works. Maybe it should set sane default or is it not possible / against KDE HIG? The completion and their settings are directly provided by the KLineEdit that is used for this filtering. So we cannot do much about this. You could open a bug report for the kdelibs if you think this needs a usability improvement. What is the confusion about the relation to the tag tree? Right now every tag title in the tree is used as a suggestion for the completion. The confusion was mostly because this option appears on KLineEdit however it affects tag tree. To me they looked liked separate widgets so I haven't expected then to work that way. Maybe I should suggest to rename 'Automatic' and 'semi-automatic' (completion mode menu items) to something else in kdelibs but what should they be called I'm not sure. Well it affects tag tree in the moment the line edit completes the first match. This completed text is then used to filter the tag tree. Or are you experiencing other symptoms? No. It's just I thought KLineEdit's completion options works only for KLineEdit itself not for the tag tree. Apparently they are connected to each other in such a way that if it's set to 'automatic' I have only 1 item in the result tree. BTW 'Manual' seems to work as I epxect from a filter too, so what's difference is between semi-automatic and manual I don't know. (I'm using direct links below. I don't know if they allow hotlinking. Copy/paste if it is not so.) Hmm… weird thing is if I'm typing with 'automatic' it's wrong: http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8048/d1098.png however if I paste it from clipboard (still with automatic) it works normally: http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/2088/d1099.png Should I blame kdelibs or digikam's completion? (seen as grey letters in the 1st image) Err... seems 'manual' (and semi-automatic does not... at least not always) does what I need. So many completion options that does something I don't quite understand... Don't hesitate to open a bug report for the kdelibs requesting a usability improvement for this. I will close this bug as as invalid as the filtering is working as expected. Reopen if you really find a problem in the filtering. |
