Description Axel Krebs 2011-07-19 19:37:51 UTC

Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Sometimes, I use digiKam (DK) for searching for pics. I mount a number of pics to one single pic. With light tabl, I can only compare two pics (pairwise).

Therefore, I suggest to extend the overall pic-area in "light-table" to an vortual mich larger size. Maybe 2000 x 35000 pixels or 7500 x 12500 pixels, e.g.

In 1995 I owned several ATARI PC`s having virtual screens. So it was easy to "scroll" (up-down/left-right) to oversee large (virtual) scren- areas. 

For my opinion, light-table is limited somehow on _one_ single task "comparing two pics". Why dont´t extend its features?

Please think about; at this time, I do _not_ habe any possiblity to watch and mount (arrange) a number of pics.

Axel
