Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Gentoo Packages I wish to run a slide show based on a search that pulls in photos from several albums. BUT I would like to show all the photos in date order regardless of which album they originate from... For example if I have an event photographed by 3 different photographers and each set of photos is imported into a different album, then I want to make a slide show which shows photos from all 3 albums cronologically not author by author. I don't think is possible at present. I am happy to make these changes myself and submit a patch if desired ??
Hello everybody, I don't know if that's what is meant here and I hope my wish is compatible with this one. Let's go : I would like to be able to see all my pictures in the main board, no matter the album or directory they're coming from. Basically, when launching Digikam, I would like to be able to see all the pictures the software manages. (I also want them ranked chronologically) For now, I'm obliged to give ALL my pictures a tag called "be there if no tag is selected" and always have it activated hen I want to navigate in all my pictures. I don't know if I'm clear enough. Sorry for my bad english. Thanks a lot
Hello everybody, I realized I didn't understand well this wish report. So my first Additionnal comment is irrelevant. I opened a new wish to express what I meant : Bug 138200 : http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138200 Sorry. Have a good day Sapaka
Sorting images by date, even across albums would also apply to the results obtained from filtering by tag (which I would find very helpful!). Could the way of presentation be another option in the menu: - View/Sort Albums/By Folder By Date By Collection Merged <=== new? Chris, personally I would very much welcome a patch - the final word is of course to Gilles ;-)

> >the final word is of course to Gilles > > ... and/or Marcel... we are a team (:=)))... depending of who will parse/apply the patch on svn. Sorry, Marcel, no insult intended!! I hope Chris is still interested - the more coders the better ;-)
Isn't this the same as bug #116606? Both are about sorting the thumbnail view only by date/name/whatever, without the album seperator.
Yes, it really seems like the same problem, and even the same proposed solution (another item in the View menu about the display style). It's hard to decide, which bug is more valid, but since this one has a broader scope (not only tags, but also searches etc.), I mark the other one as duplicate.
*** Bug 116606 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
when you implement this wish, please have a look at Bug 140743 as well.
Chris, have you made any progress in writing a patch (This is one of the higher voted wishes ;-)? Arnd
*** Bug 149025 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
*** Bug 152715 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This bug is attracting a lot of duplicates - seems I better get to work on that patch!
It is one of the wishes with the largest number of votes (place 6!), so there is definitively a lot of interest in this feature! In https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116606#c5 Marcel discusses briefly, what changes would be necessary. Maybe https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116606#c7 is a good idea, by using a (to be introduced) "virtual" group ("Merged") in AlbumIconView::slotImageListerNewItems ? ((for a quick test one might just fake this and put it all into one album with a known id ...;-)). This would leave IconView::sort() untouched (not sure what side-effects/problems there could be). While it most likely would not make it into 0.9.3 final (string freeze), it would be great to see this as one of the first great new features for 0.9.4, so the coding may start now! Chris, if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask here or on the digikam-devel mailing list. In particular using the IRC (#digikam on irc.freenode.net) is very efficient for quick questions/discussions.
Hej, i've tried
first, sorry for double-posting. I've a nervous return key :-( Hej, i've tried to work-around this bug creating symlinks (and for experimental reasons hardlinks as well) of all my image files in my folder/album hierarchy into one single extra folder. At first, it worked great. But finally I re-found bug http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140175 and got a bunch of 0-Byte files. So do not use my "work-around"!
heya, don't want to bother, but what's the point ? I've not found any solution in 0.10.0 under ubuntu....still working on it ?
Hi Chris, My point is that sometimes I want to view images all together regardless of the directory they are stored in. For example all images with a tag "Clouds". That would allow me to sort through them more efficiently than when they are pulled up with an album header in between. Related is my wish to have a free manual sort, ideally also without regard to "albums". Dennis.

Sorry. Maybe i didn't express myself very clear. I have the same wish......but this thread hasn't been updated for a while. The last update said something about 0.9.4 the problem will be solved. The question is: is there any plan when it will be done ?
Yes. It comes with the icon view reimplementation. It's implemented for 1.0beta1, but there is no menu action for it so you dont get it with beta1. Maybe beta2.

Great, thanks so much for implementing this, can't wait to try this out :)

I works great! Thank you very much.
