Description Peter Albrecht 2011-12-18 10:38:36 UTC
Version:           2.4.0 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Looking through pictures in preview mode, one can see the thumbbar on top of the picture preview.

I think opinions differ, whether at switching to full-screen this thumbbar should be visible or not.

Contra visibility:
  - Currently it is not visible
  - Some people might think: In fullscreen mode I want to have the full screen for my picture.

Pro visibility:
  - I would like to have it visible, in order to have an orientation within the pile of pictures. With the thumbbar, I can e.g. see that there are five more pictures coming with my cat in the basket, so I can delete this one, since the focus is not very good.
  - I see "full screen" as hide left/right sidebar, the taskbar, the menu and window decorations. => show the stuff I want to see (picture and thumbnails at full screen)

Switching the thumbbar on everytime with CTRL + T is very annoying, so I'm kindly asking to add an option for this. :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start digikam
2. select album with picture
 -> thumbnail-view (no thumbnail-bar on top)

3. doubleclick/ENTER
 -> switch from "thumbnail view" to "image preview"
    (thumbnail-bar visible on top)

4. CTRL + SHIFT + F

Actual Results:  
Switches to full screen view, but no thumbnail-bar visible on top

Expected Results:  
Whether or not you initially see a thumbnail-bar in "full-screen preview mode" should be configurable through an digiKam option.

I would suggest to add a new Checkbox to 

    "Settings" -> "Configure DigiKam..." -> "Album View" under "Preview Options"

and name it something like:

    "Show Thumbbar in full screen image preview"

Sorry, I forgot to set "Priority = WISH". Can anyone change this please? Seems I don't have the right to do this.

I installed digikam 2.5.0 yesterday and there I found a new Option: 

 Settings -> Configure Digikam -> Editor Window -> Hide thumbbar in fullscreen mode

Disabling this option leeds exactly to the desired behaviour as explained in the bug description. 

=> Wish fullfilled! Thanks alot!
