Description Torsten Crass 2009-07-27 21:16:22 UTC 
Version:           1.0.0-beta2 (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Hi there,

in some previous versions, it was possible to select the previous/next image using the shortcuts [STRG]+[P]/[STRG]+[N] while editing an image's caption. In particular, the caption text field would stay focused, allowing for commenting on multiple images in a purely keyboard-based manner. Currently, since there seems to be no similar feature, one has to always use the mouse to select a new image and to subsequently re-select the text field.

Would it be possible to somehow re-enable the old behaviour?

Thanx --

Ah, right, it's in Debian now... OK, tried it, but still no way to navigate through an album using shortcuts while editing captions. (Well, at least no obvious way. Or did I miss something?)

Well Sound like something is missing in AlbumGui model/view used to port icon-view to pure QT4 implementation.

Marcel ?

Comment 4 Torsten Crass 2009-07-27 22:43:53 UTC 
Well, I don't know when exactly porting to QT4 begun, but I've been missed this feature for quite some time now. I don't remember exactly at which "major" version number it had gone, but I'm pretty sure it was absent from the 0.9 branch already, maybe even from 0.8.

Hope that helps --

Model/view port have be done with 1.0.0 (:=)))

Comment 6 Torsten Crass 2009-07-27 23:05:02 UTC 
Right... although the MVC paradigm sometimes occured to me to be a bit too dogmatic... ;-) Anyway, as I said, the shortcuts mentioned in my original report had vanished in some version prior to 1.0.0, so this obviously is something that got lost some time earlier than the QT4 model/view port.

BTW, thanks to you digiKam developers for providing us with such a fine program! I was *so* happy to find a close-to-perfect Linux alternative to all those half-hearted, Windows-based applications which usually come with digital cameras. (BTW, the same holds true for kdenlive, which, in my eyes, is so much better than all those crippled video editors delivered together with typical camcorders...)

Hm first of all: Shouldn't CTRL+P always be assigned to "Print" action?
At least this is true for all apps I used so far under Window, Mac and Linux.

As far as I can remember, the shortcuts where either PgUp / PgDown or CTRL+PgUp / CTRL+PgDown?

Anyway neither of these shortcuts is working, so something is definitely broken.
But using Ctrl+P (Print) or Ctrl+N (New Album) sounds wrong to me (even if it was a previous behavior).
Comment 8 caulier.gilles 2009-10-21 09:28:13 UTC 
yes CTRL+P is usualy assigned to print action everywhere...

Gilles
Comment 9 Torsten Crass 2009-10-22 15:59:39 UTC 
Hi,

> yes CTRL+P is usualy assigned to print action everywhere...

uhm... perhaps it was [Alt]+[P]/[Alt]+[N] which could be used for selecting the previous/next image for commenting? If so, sorry for causing confusion...

Is there a workaround around. Assigning Captions in a pure keyboard way would really be great. 
[STRG]-[N]/[ALT]-[N]/PGUP do not work. 
I tried looking in Change shortcuts menu, but didn't find an option there.

Thanks
