screenshot of image in map
This map only shows an overview of the images with geolocation positions. I think I have to create a screencast for you. For editing is the geolocation editor. Either by Ctrl+Shift+G or in the "Items" menu. Auf Deutsch unter "Eintrag". You can also select multiple images in the Album View. Now you open the geolocation editor. Here you have an image list below the map. Here you can now select individual or all images and drag into the map. So you can also assign the coordinates to 100 images at once. Maik > For editing is the geolocation editor. I understood that. I am an Open-Source developer too and think I am not too untalented. But I don't get it: - all programs I know offer a context menu. So why can't I just select an image in the mag and right-click on it to open the geolocation editor? > Here you can now select individual or all images and drag into the map. That is my second point: - I once dragged an image into the map - now I realize that its location is not correct - therefore I want to move the image inside the map of the geolocation editor - why is this impossible? - As moving in the map doesn't work, how else can I change an existing location without entering new coordinates manually? > - all programs I know offer a context menu.

Drag the image from the list to the new position in the map. Screencast is in progress...

Ehm, so I have to drag in the image again to the map to another location? Heureka, this works. But this is very unintuitive. I spent now an hour and never came to to the idea to drag the image in there again because the image is already in the map, just at the wrong location. The most intuitive way would be to move the image within the map to the correct location. > you do not want to see the context menu if we put everything in there. It is not about everything, it is that there is NO context menu at all. I mean what do I want to do when I right-click on an image within a map? Ask persons around you, I bet they all say "to change the image location or to get info about the current location". Hello Maik, I forgot to thank you for your support. Thanks to your help I think I will be ready for tomorrows Christmas presentation with located images. Nevertheless as I reported my bugs as newbie I guess other user will have the same beginner problems as I had so therefore you and the digiKam team should discuss if my proposals/bug reports could lead to a more intuitive workflow. many thanks and best regards Uwe *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 328855 *** The video is now ready on Google.

Many thanks Maik. My problem was that the intuition is to move images around in the map to correct the location. I never came to the idea that I have to re-drag in the image to the map to another location because the image was already in the map.
Therefore please describe this behavior in the manual and/or allow to move images in the map since this is the intuitive way.
