Description Christian González 2012-01-11 22:04:57 UTC 
Version:           2.1.1 (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

Small bug (or wrong-implementation):
When you left-click on an album, it expands the subtree of it.
This is not a common behaviour and against usability.
I don't have "single click open" in KDE SC activated, so I don't want this.
For expanding subtree there is the small ">" or "+" at the left of the album.

I hope this is not intended so as it is against all HIG (Windows, Mac, KDE, even GNOME).

The problem is that when you click on an expanded album, it collapses it. This can be VERY unconvenient loosing the last point where you have been working - you have to open it again and scroll down to the album before.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
click on an album with subalbums.

Actual Results:  
it expands all subtree.

Expected Results:  
it should select the album, but not expand/collapse it.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0.0-15-generic
Compiler: gcc

Oh - I see that I was wrong, sorry, please mark this bug as invalid.
What I meant is the behaviour during drag&drop operations.
Comment 2 Christian González 2012-01-11 22:19:38 UTC 
Another comment. All back.
The bug IS present here. Albums expand when clicking on the album name. Not invalid.
Comment 3 Marcel Wiesweg 2012-01-12 13:45:01 UTC 
Intended behavior - implemented because there were wishes in that direction IIRC
Comment 4 Christian González 2012-01-12 19:52:07 UTC 
ok, I see. but it is buggy. It makes sense (IMHO not really, but ok) if you click on it. But dragging a picture onto an album expands it too. Makes still sense as I maybe want to reach a subalbum. But dragging a picture over an expanded album, it gets collapsed - which makes definitely no sense. But maybe that is another bug.
