Description brief 2025-07-03 19:05:59 UTC
Since Version 8.6. the left (!) and right window of Digikam can no longer be made as small as before. That is suboptimal!

I have three album collections defined in Digikam. I would like to have the possibility to select the album collections for display. What I mean is: it should be possible  to display only the photos of certain album collection instead of all defined album collections.

More optimizations about minimal Left sidebar width:
- Shortness strings as possible with more description in tootips.
- Use SqueezedComboBox instead QComboBox
- Add comments in translations where tralators must take care about to write shortness string in native languages.
Here, in English, the left sidebar is really small as possible now...
