Description Gerd Mann 2026-03-14 05:58:22 UTC

With the survey tool I can’t use the short cuts for accepting or rejecting photos and the star rating. Which of course is slowing down the rating process substantially. I’m using the Linux AppImage on Ubuntu 24.04.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Survey tool
2. Try to use shortcuts (e.g. Alt + 3) to assign green flag for picture acceptance
3. Try to use shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl + 3) to assign star rating
4. Neither flag rating nor star rating are assigned to the picture
5. Try other tool (e.g. preview) and repeat steps 2 and 3

OBSERVED RESULT
In survey tool no rating is assigned.
In other tools rating is assigned.

EXPECTED RESULT
Survey tool accepts the same shortcuts as other tools

fix shortcuts for labels in the survey view
If the selection was cleared in the digiKam main window,
the previous implementation in the survey view didn't
work. We might be able to avoid duplicate code by using
the functions in the respective image/video view. Also,
for Windows, when writing metadata to a video, it still
needs to be unloaded from FFmpeg.

Just downloaded dikiKam 9.1.0 (appimage). The shortcuts in the survey module still don't work.

Comment 4 Maik Qualmann 2026-06-17 04:32:03 UTC

Please test the digiKam-9.2.0 pre-release from here:

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Which specific shortcut is not working?

Color flags (e.g. Alt + 1) don't work
Star rating (e.g. Ctrl + 1) doesn't work

Comment 6 Gerd Mann 2026-06-18 00:23:22 UTC

Sorry, I tested on 9.1.0.
I'll try 9.2.0 pre-release as soon as I'm back.

Comment 7 Gerd Mann 2026-06-18 23:33:54 UTC

I just tested 9.2.0. It's working now.
Thank you.
