Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled From Sources Hello, The shadows around thumbnails are not consistent with the shadows in other KDE apps. For instance in dolphin, activate the icon view mode and the previews. Shadows are displayed with a north-west light source. It is an extremely minor point but it would better to have all KDE apps consistent in this regard. Thanks.
And about Gwenview ? Because digiKam use same code than GWenview to render thumb border. This want mean that GWenview is also different than Dolphin ? Gilles Caulier
Hi Gilles, I have reported the same problem for Gwenview: bug #191362. I have been told by a dolphin developer that dolphin uses kdelibs to get the shadows via KFilePreviewGenerator, that's why i report the bug against gwenview and digikam. It would look more consistent if gwenview/digikam had shadows similar to what kdelibs produces. Thanks
digiKam (and GWenview i think) do not use KFilePreviewGenerator, because it lack a lots of file formats to preview. Marcel, currently rewrite digiKam icon view with Qt4 Model View. This little adjustement can be done in new implementation. Border around icon is just few lines of code... Gilles
The code is here: http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/4.2/kdelibs/kfile/kfilepreviewgenerator.cpp The author is Peter Penz, so it's indeed originating from Dolphin. In fact it's just completely different drawing code. There is no problem taking this code and using it in the ImageDelegate class. It's a matter of taste.
Marcel, Following Qt4 model/view port of icon view introduced with 2.x serie, this file still valid ? Gilles Caulier
I did not change anything in this regard. Now it's 2013 and KDE shadows may have changed again. I dont know.
Thanks Marcel, Well, we have more important stuff to do in digiKam... I close this file as WONTFIX... Gilles
