A menu entry like "Red eye reduction (create a selection to enable)" is depreceate because it's a long text ! I have added a tooltip for the "Red Eyes" menu entry and a message in the filter dialog. Also, the handbook will be explain the way to use this filter for the users. Gilles Caulier some actions are meant to be intuitive (unfortunately in this case its not) or learnt from experience. for eg, in a file manager a user sees the delete file option is grayed out. now he selects a file and the option becomes active. this is a result of previous experiences with other softwares. similarly in this case, you will either have to "learn" it or read the docs (which explains how it works). i can't see any other solution. gilles, please close this bug Selon Renchi Raju <renchi@pooh.tam.uiuc.edu>: > ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- > You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. > > http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91485 > > > > > ------- Additional Comments From renchi pooh tam uiuc edu 2004-11-09 01:39 > ------- > some actions are meant to be intuitive (unfortunately in this case its not) > or learnt from experience. for eg, in a file manager a user sees the delete > file option is grayed out. now he selects a file and the option becomes > active. this is a result of previous experiences with other softwares. > similarly in this case, you will either have to "learn" it or read the docs > (which explains how it works). i can't see any other solution. _NOTA_ : using 'What's this menu entry in Image Editor and select 'Red Eyes correction' menu entry giving you some help !!! This is a standard way for learning to use an GUI ! Too, read the _FULL_ manual available with 0.7.0 release !!! > gilles, please close this bug Yes, i will do it. -- Gilles CAULIER Email : caulier.gilles@free.fr Internet : http://caulier.gilles.free.fr *** Bug has been marked as fixed ***. I have a suggestion for a solution: change red-eye reduction to work in the same way as the Kodak Easyshare album application. In this app, there is a Red-Eye button on the toolbar. When you choose it, it changes the cursor to a cross-hair. You then have to click in the red-eye area, and it fixes it. I guess there's some auto-detection of the extent of the red-eye area going on. If that can't be done, then alternatively you could choose an area after selecting the red-eye tool (optionally popping up a message box telling you to do this, with a "Never tell me this again" checkbox). Since digiKAm 5.0, the red eyes tool from digiKam core use eyes auto-detection on face. No need a manual selection. This permit to use this tool in BQM without any user interaction. |
