Description Ruedi Hofer 2016-10-08 13:37:51 UTC

Dear all
Preview mode is not saved anymore if I close and reopen Digikam. I always have to press f3 after opening Digikam. With 4.x this state was saved. 
/rho

Reproducible: Always

I don't understand by "preview mode not saved"

Please explain better and in details which settings is lost... For me nothing as changed about preview mode between DK 4 and 5.

Hi Gilles
Ok, I try again;)
When I start Digikam, I see the thumnails in multiple rows. Then I press f3 the view changes to the image preview. ((this is the state which is not saved)). When I close digikam and reopen, I see the multiple rows of thumbnails instead of the preview.
If you like, i can take a video and upload ..
/rho

The behavior described is normal. Preview mode have never been saved with previous versions. At next DK session, you go back in thumbnails mode.

Yes, your're right and I'm wrong .. and it didn't work with 4.x either. Could we add this as a feature request instead?

Maik, 

Saving preview mode between session can be problematic for some end users...

Your viewpoint ?
