Description bobos84 2010-11-27 22:28:58 UTC

Version:           1.2.0
OS:                Linux

For photo reorganization purposes it is useful to have the full path (album) name in the properties hover popup. This is especially the case when not in the album view, but e.g. in the time-line view, where you can't see in which album the picture resides. There will be a serious risk you cut and paste a picture into itself.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
In time-line view cut a pic.
In album view paste the pic.

DigiKam 1.6.0 has been released, please try again with newer version and if problem persits, please report back.

With 2.x serie, you can configure in Setup Tooltip view which information to display in contextual pop-up of icon-view. This include album name of picture...

Reopened, because only Album path is shown, not full path as requested.
I would recommend showing the Collection instead, which is shorter.

Use case:
I have added the Dropbox-folder as a collection to digiKam and there are similar  named albums as in my main collection. When performing a search or using Versions -> Versions in the sidebar, you can't see from the Tool-tips, where exactly the image is located.

See attached screenshots.

Well, the option is called Album Name and not Album Path. I once programmed it here fast, we would definitely have to shorten a path to the left or right with (...). I don't think that's particularly good.

That's why I suggested to add the option to show the Collection name in the tooltip: Then Collection and Album name would be shown on two different lines, so it should not be too long.

BTW, is the Album name shortened in the tooltip?
