Description Michael Liddle 2009-06-15 16:08:02 UTC
Version:           0.10.0 (using 4.2.88 (KDE 4.2.88 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090527)) "release 127", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.20-0.4-default

Earlier I created a wish for collapsable album groups in the middle view panel (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196583). I would like to expand on that suggestion here, after which time I will mark the old report as a duplicate of this one.

My proposal is to have a more general context menu in the albums GUI, showing when either the album header or any of the other (non-image) panel in the list view is right-clicked. This menu might contain the following options (split into current album and whole view parts):

+--------------------------------+
| Hide this album                | * Collapses under the header
| Select all from this album     | 
| Select none from this album    |
| Invert selection in this album | * Might not be necessary 
| Go to > album/date             |
| Album properties               |
+--------------------------------+
| Select all                     |
| Select none                    |
| Invert selection               |
+--------------------------------+

I think that that current lack of any action when right-clicking in these areas feels strange, and moreover I think that the options that I suggest would be handy! :)

Select all from this album  =  Click on album header
Comment 4 Michael Liddle 2009-06-15 20:53:38 UTC
@ #3: Is that supposed to be current behaviour? It does not work for me in 0.10...
Comment 5 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-06-15 22:09:48 UTC
Ah, you are at 0.10.
No, this is for current SVN / 1.0beta only.
