Version: 0.7.0 (using KDE 3.5.10) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs I use Showfoto (Digikam) with the thumbnail display at the bottom of the screen. It seems that it might convenient to be able to drag the thumbnails using my mouse like is done with Google Earth. For touch oriented devices this would be especially intuitive (in my view). Additionally it would be nice if you could use the mousewheel over the thumbnails rather than having to find the scrollbar at the very bottom of the window. The thumbnails make such a nice large target. Thanks for reading
The mousewheel is working in the thumbbar (digiKam and showFoto).
I just see your specifications... this seems to be a rather old installation. Maybe it is not working in there, showFoto 0.10 and digiKam 0.10 are able to use the mousewheel. showFoto 0.9.0 from SVN for KDE3 also uses the mousewheel. It should work on your installation too, since this is a normal QScrollView widget. Andi
I'd like to apologize, the ob1@yifan.net e-mail no longer works and I couldn't change it in the preferences for some reason. mesamoo115@comcast.net is my correct address.

Thanks for the heads up. Now if I can just get the cool mouse drag thingy implemented :-) See ya
David, just to be sure: for showfoto, to what place do you want to drag the thumbnails and what should this achieve?

Currently if I click on a thumbnail in showfoto and then release the mouse button, that image is shown in the main window as expected. (the icon is activated) In the new behavior this would remain the same, however if I left-click on a thumbnail, then drag left or right before releasing the left button (in horizontal mode) the thumbnails would be dragged (scroll) along with the mouse. When the mouse button is released the scrolling would stop. (as if an icon had been moved, but instead of moving 1 thumbnail the whole "film strip" would move) I believe picassa shows a similar behavior when in edit view. This would be really useful with touchscreens as the user has a target the size of the thumbnails rather than a small scrollbar to aim for. Let me know if you need any more information thanks dh In a t
There is some effort to port whole KDE on mobile devices. I think there should be queries "upstream" to investigate if this feature would be implemented on libs level (Qt, KDE?) - as reworking of whole pointer-application interaction.
digiKam on an iPhone (or any touchpad-mobile-phones)? Would be funny to see (we already have spacing problems on normal PCs, :-)) But anyway I also think this should go into Qt libs itself, since it is a way to navigate with a QScrollView.
On Iphone I don't see purpose but use Nokia Internet Tablet as simple databank with digiKam to manage photos - would be killer app :)
