Have you deactivated your thumbnail bar in the preview? Everything is visible in the thumbnail bar. Maik *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 302559 *** True, but I don't use the thumbnail bar much. IMHO it consumes too much vertical screen space to be of any practical use, especially with todays' 16:9 displays. Pictures get significantly reduced in height and therefore width if it's active. When I'm reviewing images, I tend to use fullscreen mode and have my images maximized to see as much detail as possible. So I think an addition to the navigation bar with the rating and flags - if only for display - would still be a benefit. The thumbnail bar can also be docked horizontally (sideways). Simply grab the gripper (left side) and drag it to the left and right area, a docking area will open up and let it fall. Maik |
Created attachment 174166 [details] Screenshot mockup of extended icon bar SUMMARY: see $SUBJECT STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Preview an image 2. Press Ctrl-1 (for "1 star") or Alt-1 (for "red flag") 3. Try to find out whether you have just *added* or *removed* this tag, without looking at the sidebar OBSERVED RESULT You can't find out. There is no visible feedback. EXPECTED RESULT There should be some kind of visible feedback, e.g. a transient hover text in one image corner saying "1 star added" or "red flag removed", or (better) something visible, like in the attachment mockup as an extension to the icon bar that's already visible. The star rating, the flags, color markers and possibly other tags could be displayed there and would always be visible, regardless of the sidebars the user may or may not have activated - and much more prominent when you want to quickly tag or rate a large number of images using the keyboard. It may even be possible to display the selected stars, flag and color marker *as* a clickable icon with a dropdown choice, so that the user can directly change their choice from within the (possibly full screen) preview. Can something like this be integrated into Digikam? SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS: Appimage as of Sep 09, 2024, on KDE Neon 22.04.
