Description Jörn Schimmelpfeng 2010-03-06 13:49:27 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

Directory thumbnails are by far too small. Often it is very difficult to identify the correct folder if there are multiple similar ones. 

This is especially useful if you need to sort a large number of pictures to a set of target folders. Here a mouse over pop-up with an enlarged version of that thumbnail would help a lot to find the right one.

Increasing the thumbnail size is not a solution here and just reduces the number of visible folders so that you loose overview at all.

Hi Gilles,

please can you be more specific here. Where do I find this option? I tried already "Settings/Configure Digicam" and from there as well "Album View" and "Tool Tip". And I don't find a setting for that. Of course I get tool tips, but they do not contain any thumbnails and I don't find an option to enable them.

I'm using Digikam build Feb 23 2010 version 1.10 from Ubunut. Perhaps there is something missing?

So I would understand this as a wish to include the album icon in the tool tip?!
