Advanced search menu, possible improvement.
The fact that there is no vertical scroll bar is due to the Fusion Style. Here under KF5 Desktop with Breeze Style is one available. The Fusion Style is a compromise with the AppImage. Maik Aha. Well, I just wanted to point that out. If there's the possibility of improving it sometime in the future, I think it could be considered. With next digiKam 7.4.0 release, AppImage bundle is compiled using a more recent Linux Mageia 7.1 host. Last stable Qt 5.15.2 and KF5 5.84 are used. ImageMagick codec 7 and libav 58 (ffmpeg) are used to supports extra image and video formats. https://i.imgur.com/XV1tZkL.png Please check if problem still reproducible with this version available as pre-release here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier From the current 7.4 release, that menu still looks exactly the same. |
Created attachment 119357 [details] Advanced search menu, default size. SUMMARY When doing an advanced search, for instance finding pictures that contain two Tags, you must use a dropdown menu which is quite small and has no scrollbars. That implies a heavy use of the mouse wheel until you find what you are looking for. Maximizing the window helps a little, but it's still a hassle. I have attached a few screenshots so it's easier to see what I mean. I think that those menus should include a scrollbar, and, ideally, a search field.
