Currently (5.5.0 appimage) the tags input field can be activated by "T" but there is no (obvious) way of getting back to the images index (except for 5x"Shift tab" or 7x "tab" to come full circle). Is it possible to assign "ESC" as a way to leave the tags filter input field and get the cursor focus back to the images thumbnails (to be able to navigate between images again), or the currently viewed image (so you can select the next image)? Also, when the cursor focus is at the tags tree, the "up/down" cursor keys could select tags, while the "left/right" cursor keys could select the next/previous image (preview and thumbnail mode). Also, there is no (obvious) way of assigning single key ("A", "L", "M") keyboard shortcuts to tags. Keys with modifiers (Ctrl, Alt, Meta) work - is there a reason why? I can assign single keys to other functions (e.g. Lighttable or Batch manager). Thanks!
1) pressing enter after having selected a tag will keep the the focus on the tag edit box. Pressing enter a second time moves the focus back to the main window and advances to the next image. See the commit message in https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/commit/?id=d13f94a8c5cf18a7c3c19c522fa484e5b7fb1bd9 Unfortunately, the sorting-by-history is broken since the DK5 port. 2) up/down is needed for navigation in the main view in my opinion 3) you can assign a single key shortcut to a tag via detour: you add a Ctrl+<letter> shortcut via tag properties. The tag then appears in settings->shortcuts, where you can add a custom single letter shortcut. This is indeed more complicated than it should be
1) OK, I didn't know this. Can this be made more obvious? It sounds quite efficient if you know about it. (Maybe as a placeholder text in the tags textfield, like "Enter tag, press ENTER twice to return to photos" or as a tooltip.) 2) Yes, maybe. It would perhaps be too confusing. There's always a tradeoff to be made between efficiency and intuition of a certain feature. 3) True. Why can't the single key shortcut be entered in the tag settings directly?
After 3 weeks of work, i finally completed the compilation of AppImage using Qt 5.11.3 + QWebkit 5.212. New 6.1.0 pre-release AppImage bundle can be found here (64 bits only for the moment) : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Please check if this bugzilla entry still valid. Thanks in advance 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
