When doing my pictures sorting, I working mostly with keyboard (netbook one, so a bit small, maybe ...). one mistakes which happened to me a few times is: Ctrl+A, Ctrl+1, instead of only ctrl+1 => as a result, instead of rating one picture, I did for all the album. To avoid that, an configureable and optional warning could help preventing you to directly edit more than 50/100 pictures/meta (can configure the number as wanted, 50 would probably be a good default) Alternative way to repair would be an undo/versioning option (mostly for metadata) Reproducible: Always
I recommend quickly to test 2.6.0 release where Progress Manager have been introduced with background pipelined operation about files. This behavior since 2.5.0 has changed... Gilles Caulier
As said before, I have some work to be done and after, I will update system and digikam. Hope this week. After will update my bugs
still valid in 2.8.0 (kde 4.8.5, lubuntu 12.04 ppa). The progress manager only allows to stop the task. I don't see any way how it allows a warning or a revert of a unvolontary mass action.
