This width restriction is given by the GPS map pixmap. 

In the future, we wil add a real world map using a scrollview. This will remove this restriction

Gilles

I was going to add this bug too, because I find it is a major annoyance.

Do you think this can be fixed before beta1 by converting the GPS map to a "zoomable" one? Does a Qt object exist that can do that?

If yes, I will have a look at it.

Jens

No, zoomable GPS map is a big task. delayed later 0.9.0. Sorry...

Gilles

Hm.. is it possible to just remove the minimum size limitation, so that the GPS map (which is not useable right now anyway) will just be partially visible? I think more space is needed for pictures, than for the map, especially with lower resolutions (at 1024x768, opening both sidebars leaves only one or two columns of pictures in the middle).

Jens

yes of course. Actually the lenght of the map is 256 pixed (fixed). Try to use other values (look in gpswidget.cpp), and give me a feedback. Take acare that the map need to be suitable of course.

You can find some JPEG pictures including GPS coordinates in my repository :

SVN commit 555353 by cgilles:

digikam from trunk : GPSWidget : size of map is 256*128 instead 300*150 to reduce at minimum lenght of right sidebar. We cannot reduce again this size because this is dependiong of histogram size now from Color tab. This is suitable and enought for 0.9.0.

Later 0.9.0 release a new GPS position editor will be add and the map in sidebar will use a QScrollView
