Description Rafael Linux User 2023-03-05 11:04:28 UTC 
SUMMARY
Usually, I use LightTable to compare even distinct formats of same image. I choose an image and click on "Properties" panel on right pane to show its properties. However, properties showed are always same, not from the corresponding selected image.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose two distinct format images
2. Click on "LightTable"
3. Open right side "Properties" panel. Selected image properties are showed
4. Select the second image. Properties showed are the same than before, not the selected one properties.

OBSERVED RESULT
Properties showed are always same, not the selected image properties.

EXPECTED RESULT
To show selected image properties

That's not possible, the 2nd bug report about this problem of the week.
There are 2 sidebars, the left sidebar is for the left image and the right sidebar is for the right image. This has nothing to do with clicking on the image.

Thank you to all.

The truth is that it didn't even occur to me that in LightTable mode left panel changed to a clone of right panel.

In my opinion, of course, it is not very intuitive. Also, it makes it more difficult to look at the changes, as you have to look from one end of the screen to the other, when it would be quicker and easier to keep a single pane, as in the main Digikam window. It is precisely for this reason that the user tends to visualise the information in the same way as in the main window.
