Created attachment 111981 [details] out-of-proportion size of these icons hovering over a thumbnail immediatelly overlays the thumbnail with tow icons of unknown purpose. one of them apparently causes the window to go into fullscreen the other one toggles between + and - on apparently its own accord (what either state is supposed to repesent remains a mystery). neverrtheless, thjsoe icons are far too large. it's extremely hard to just click and open the image the thumbnail represents without hittin one of the icons instead -- and it is a major annoyance to have gwenview go fullscreeen when you just want to see the image -- even more so if happens repeatedly! for starters: I fail to understand while toggling fullscreen of the entire application is done by an icon on each single thumbnail, it's most counter-intuitive. secondly: what _is_ that + or - supposed to mean? given that there's no tooltip it is basically uselss and confusing when you're browsing a bunch of files see attached screenshot for the out-of-proportion size of these icons and imagine how difficult it is to hit the tiny bit of space between the label and the icons (and no, clicking the label has no effect, why is that?) BTW: ym gwenciew says version 17.08.3
Thanks for you concerns. I'd like to make a couple of points: - You don't have to click on the thumbnail, clicking on the filename will also view the image (your small thumbnail size is quite unusual, so this is a compromise Gwenview had to make). - At most there are 4 buttons: The first toggles the selection (i.e. if you want to select multiple images at the same time, e.g. to move them to a different folder), the second goes to fullscreen, and the two buttons on the right rotate the image left and right. - You can discover what the buttons do by clicking on them, or by looking at actions in the menu with similar icons. We explicitly decided against showing tooltips on the hover buttons, because they would get annoying with time. You'll be pleased to know that for Gwenview 18.04 we did some changes: - In the settings, you'll be able to turn off the buttons completely. - The fullscreen button will switch to fullscreen view instead of switching to fullscreen browse mode.
