Description S. Burmeister 2011-07-26 19:57:14 UTC
Version:           2.0.0 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Currently if one clicks on a collection, i.e. the first item in the tree-structure within the left pane the main pane only displays "Welcome to digikam...".

It would be comfortable if that view displayed the albums of that collection as thumbnails, i.e. a big picture for each album and maybe even the name/date underneath it.

Hovering the thumbnail of an album would  start a slideshow of its pictures, i.e. the thumbnail would change every .75 seconds. 

Clicking on the thumbnail would then open the album.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
click on the first item in the tree structure

Actual Results:  
"welcome to digikam" text shown

Expected Results:  
each album represented by a thumbnail

Definitively not the way to go in the future. We have re-implemented Welcome Page view to promote new features (as previous version) + a background photo from end user.
