Version: (using KDE 4.4.1) Installed from: Unspecified Linux Digikam automatically selects the first photo when entering an album. This should not be the case. Note that Dolphin, which also has the + selector icons, does not automatically select the first file/folder. When the user wants to select photos she clicks the + sign. The first photo in an Album is already selected, which means that it often gets deleted / tagged incorrectly.
I agree. I remember to have been perturbated with selection of fisrt item in camera icon view. Gilles Caulier
Dotan, This entry still valid with 2.4 release ? Gilles Caulier
Yes, Gilles, I still notice the issue in Digikam 2.4.
I would agree that in the camera icon view, there need not be an initial selection. This can be switched off in code by modifying d->ensureInitialSelectedItem flag in DCategorizedView. In the main icon view, this was implemented to match behavior which existed in digikam for a very long time (< version 0.6), and has a reason: Without an initial selection, most of the right sidebars would be greyed out; the user is welcomed by an application which is apparently non-functional until he finds out that he needs to click on a picture to make use of all the right-side sidebars.
Following Marcel comment #4, i set this entry to Import component. Gilles Caulier
Hi Guys this appears to be still valid and in general digikam UI not only in import digiKam 4.11.5
Can you reproduce the problem using digiKam Linux AppImage bundle ? The last bundle is available at this url: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Gilles Caulier

digiKam 7.0.0 stable release is now published: https://www.digikam.org/news/2020-07-19-7.0.0_release_announcement/ We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version. Best regards Gilles Caulier
(In reply to caulier.gilles from comment #9) > We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version. Using digiKam Version 7.0.0 I don't see any change in behaviour... When first entering an album the first image is still selected. Is there now a setup option to control this behaviour? If there is I haven't been able to find it. Best Regards, Paul
Tested with digiKam 8.1.0: icon-view selection is restored when you switch between albums. If no selection is done in one album the first item is selected by default. Maik, for me this file can be closed now. Right ? Gilles
