Currently this menu that comes from Marble is disabled. It also includes the possibility to create bookmarks. but these are not compatible with our bookmarks management and do not run on all operating systems. That caused confusion among users. It is not possible to remove only the bookmark management, therefore the whole menu is disabled. The Google Map does not have such a menu either. Therefore, this section must be removed in the manual. Maik > Therefore, this section must be removed in the manual. Please not. I mean that is the feature why I installed digiKam! I mean I want a program to tag the location of my holiday images. Currently I do this: 1. go to the location in OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=bilbao#map=18/43.26633/-2.92743 2. copy "-2.92743" to the clipboard 3. paste this to the longitude field of the geolocation editor 4. copy "43.26633" to the clipboard 5. paste this to the latitude field 6. press apply So why can't digiKam offer this?: 1. go to the desired location in the geolocation editor 2. right-click onto it in the map 3. a context menu pops up "use this location for the selected images" 4. one selects this menu 5. one presses apply to accept the change This is also possible for Google maps, because the URL contains the coordinates as well: https://www.google.de/maps/place/Bilbao,+Bizkaia,+Spanien/@43.2662736,-2.9292067,440m Why so complicated? The normal way to work with the geolocation editor is to drag & drop the image from the list to the appropriate location on the map. No complicated copying of the coordinates. Maik I agree to Maik, the D&D is not too much complicated to use. More generally, digiKAm use D&D everywhere in workflow. To MAik : perhaps a label or a tooltips can help end user to discover the D&D feature in Geolocation editor.

Many thanks for your quick reply. I am a newbie and therefore follow the manual. Maybe I am too untalented but I don't get it to work. What I do is:
1. open the album view
2. select there an image I want to tag, see the attached screenshot
3. now I want to drag it onto the map as you wrote, therefore I open a map on the left side.
result: the album view is now empty and therefore I cannot drag the image to the map, see the attached screenshot.
So how is it done correctly step by step? Can this instruction please also appear in the manual?

The left sidebar is for finding images with geolocation positions. There you can create a rectangle over the map and all images within the coordinates will be displayed. But we talk about Drag & Drop via the Geolocation Editor (Ctrl+Shift+G). Maik > But we talk about Drag & Drop via the Geolocation Editor > (Ctrl+Shift+G). But how can I do this in a convenient way? I created now a separate bug report because I am still stuck: bug 388219 So the main question is how I can drag an image from the album view into a map to set its location. If I open the geolocation editor I cannot do this because I cannot see anymore the album to drag images from the album to the map of the editor. *** Bug 393838 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit 14037ab2f54a2f19bd5f52c1cc8e4fee223b6ef1 by Maik Qualmann.
