Description H.H. 2008-10-29 18:41:48 UTC 
Version:           2.2.0 (using 4.1.71 (KDE 4.1.71 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081023)) "release 5.1", KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.11-0.1-pae

It would be nice to have a folder-navigation and a image-preview again (make it optional/toggable), and then the possibility to disable folders in thumbnail-main-window (configuration option).

This is really needed, if you have a folder with many folders AND many images. then I don't like to view many big blue folder-thumbnails which have each - as only usefull information - their little foldername at the bottom.

I think it is for example a common structure for images:
- FOLDER Images
-- FOLDER 2006
-- FOLDER 2005
...
-image1
-image2
...

I think that it would not only "be nice" to have the folder tree back, I think it's absolutely essential.

Aurelien, could you comment? Is this something that's possible for the future?

folder tree should be back in kde 4.3.
Comment 4 H.H. 2009-04-28 20:28:01 UTC 
I now tested the new version. thanks for adding the folder view! and thanks for the option to disable fullscreen thumbnails! 

now it would be nice (that's a reason why the folderview is so usefull:), to be able to hide the folders in the main-panel (perhaps a general filter to exclude folders/videos/images/..). (think of my scenario above with years 1990-2010 and quite big thumbnails). then I would close this bug report :)
Comment 5 Aurelien Gateau 2009-12-20 23:04:09 UTC 
Folder in thumbnails are now much more useful because they display thumbnails of the images inside them. Thus I believe an option to hide them is less relevant.

nice to have folder with images. but still my wish is a "nice to have", see my example: I want to browser my images and first see a full page of folders I don't want to see.

> first see a full page of folders I don't want to see.
In recent versions Gwenview selects and centers the first image in the viewport upon entering a folder, regardless of the number of folders display before that image.

I think that solves the use case nicely, so we don't have to add an extra option and can close the bug as fixed.
