Description Bill Goodman 2017-02-12 23:08:39 UTC 
In the thumbnails view, click the Light Table button to open the Light Table Window.

Switch back to the main DigiKam window containing the thumbnails view.

Click the Light Table button again. Nothing happens. It seems like a normal expectation would be for the Light Table window to be activated and brought to the front. This is especially a problem when the main window is maximized because the Light Table window is hidden behind and the Light Table button appears to do nothing.

Problem is here, work not under Windows:

KWindowSystem::unminimizeWindow(widget->winId())

Alternatively:

widget->show() work not for minimized window
widget->showNormal() last window size and position not korrekt
widget->showMaximized() window is always maximized

Bill,

The Windows installer have been recompiled with last changes from source code
and is available here for testing :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Take a care : it's a beta release. Make a database backup before to test.

Problem still here ?

Comment 10 Bill Goodman 2023-10-15 22:38:59 UTC 
No change. The Light table window still is not brought to the front to be visible.

Tested on Windows 11.
Comment 11 Bill Goodman 2023-10-15 23:07:44 UTC 
I note that the Batch Queue Manager window has the same problem. It is not brought to the front when it is selected a second time.
Comment 12 caulier.gilles 2023-10-16 03:03:32 UTC 
yes both BQM and LT share the same code to brought to the front when it is selected a second time.
