Description Dotan Cohen 2012-10-17 14:45:05 UTC

I am happily using Digikam's geotagging features. One frustrating aspect is when looking at the map there is no easy way to see the photos or the full albums. Currently, to view the photos one must change the map tool before he can select a photo. Then, to view the full album, he must right-click the photo itself and select Go To -> Album.

I suggest a right-click on the photo or group of photos would add / remove the photo or group of photos from the list on the right, so that the user does not have to change the tools. Also, a middle-click on a photo would open the album in which that photo resides, and a middle-click on a group of photos would spread the group out so that the individual photos could be seen.

Thanks.

While we're at it, might I suggest that scrolling the scroll wheel over the photos increase and decrease the thumbnail size, just as scrolling on the map zooms in and out of the map.

Thanks.

IMHO this would be confusing if you wanted to zoom the map, and while zooming, accidentally moved the mouse over an image, and then only zooming the image. Maybe we can use control+scroll wheel, which is also used to change the thumbnail size in the regular thumbnail view, while normal scroll wheel just scrolls up/down.

About the right/middle click behavior, I have not tried to implement this because the Google Maps backend is based on KHTML and I was not sure how to properly capture these clicks there. But in principle I would like to do that...

Best regards,

Michael
