Description Uwe Stöhr 2017-12-25 16:59:15 UTC
I want to set the location of images. Therefore I open a folder in the album view.

Now I right-click on an image.

result: the context menu doesn't provide to set the location

OK, now I try to get the location by dragging it on a map. Therefore I open a map on the left side but then the album view gets empty, see bug 388199.

From the manual I know that the map on the right side cannot be used to change parameters.

After fiddling around for about an hour I found out that I

1. have to select the image
2. need to open the Extras menu on the right side
3. choose on the right side the geolocation editor
4. now in this editor I can drag the image to the map
5. to tag the next image I have to close the geolocation editor because otherwise I cannot select another image from the album view
6. select the other image
7. open the geolocation editor again and drag the image there to the map

I guess I do something wrong but as newbie with the manual as help I cannot find abetter solution. If what I do is the normal workflow it should be improved:

1. right-click on the image
2. choose there in the context menu an entry "set location"
3. this opens the geolocation editor where one can drag the image to the map
4. one clicks on the album view again and the geolocation editor is pushed behind (minimized) to be able to see the full album to select another image
5. right-click on the new image and repeat step 2. and 3.

This map only shows an overview of the images with geolocation positions. I think I have to create a screencast for you. For editing is the geolocation editor. Either by Ctrl+Shift+G or in the "Items" menu. Auf Deutsch unter "Eintrag". You can also select multiple images in the Album View. Now you open the geolocation editor. Here you have an image list below the map. Here you can now select individual or all images and drag into the map. So you can also assign the coordinates to 100 images at once.

I understood but this issue is about workflow. In all programs I use (LibreOffice, Inkscape etc.) one can right-click on an element to change its properties. in digikam I cannot right-click on an image to set or to change its location. Therefore my proposal in the initial comment of this bug would in my opinion improve the workflow a lot.

I'm fixing this ticket's title. A couple comments:
1. This is an ITS. Entries are issue reports, not (directly) requests.
2. The term "workflow" refers to heavy processes. Something as simple as setting an image's location should be is not complex enough to qualify as a "workflow": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/workflow
