Version: 0.9.3 (using KDE 3.5.10) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When selecting the "sharpen" dialog, the initial cursor is on the "cancel" button. The "ok" button is not active until the preview has been calculated. This slows down keyboard driven interaction when the user wants to apply the "sharpen" tool with the same settings as the previous time. When the user wants to apply the "sharpen" tool with the same settings as the previous time : -- Current interactions : - "sharpen" dialog opens - user either waits until preview has been calculated or presses "abort" (or alt-a) to stop preview calculation - user presses "ok" (or alt-o) -- Wished interaction : - "sharpen" dialog opens - the "ok" is selected by default - user can press "ok" (or alt-o), even if preview calculation has not finished Selecting "ok" by default would be consistent with other common dialogs in Digikam. For example the above wished interaction works fine with curves, white balance or hue/saturation/lightness.
Jean Marc, This problem is now fixed in current implementation from svn (0.9.5 for KDE3, and 0.10.0 for KDE4) : all image editor tool dialogs have been removed. All tool are now embedded into editor window. This increase usability everywhere. Look this screencast : http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/370 Nota : unlike the blog entry said, _all_ image editor tools have been ported like this, including sharpen tool. Gilles Caulier
Thanks - you guys are definitely reading my mind... Digikam is already by far my favorite tool for a JPEG digital photography workflow, and it keeps getting better !
