SUMMARY When I try to mark more than one picture, I cannot do this by pressing the Shift-Arrow keys. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use the album view 2. Choose one folder by clicking on it 3. There, choose one specific picture. This picture is shown bigger, and the other pictures of this folder are also shown smaller in a row above 4. Press left/right key. This displays the previous/next picture 5. Press Shift-left/Shift-right OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT The corresponding pictures should be selected. There is a way to circumvent this by klicking just beside the icon of any picture. Then Shift-arrow works as expected. SOFTWARE VERSIONS (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: ?

the zone to open preview from icon view is the thumbnail image. The rest around permit to select item. Else you have also an overlay icon on the top, when mouse move over item. Pressing this icon (+) will select item. Gilles Caulier
With the keyboard, in iconview you can select more than one item side by side using SHIFT key, without to use mouse (as with Dolphin file manager)... Gilles Caulier
Exactly this has no effect unless a mouse click between two pictures occurs before, only then the shift arrow keys work. I first have to grab the mouse, aim precisely, and after that I can use the shift arrow keys to select multiple pictures, not before this procedure.
I do not understand the bug report, no thumbnails are showing bigger. Only the background color is changed. Or do you already open the image preview? The shift key works as expected in the selection as well. Can you please make screenshots or better a screencast? Maik

So, I have attached a few screenshots to explain a bit more, A picture says more than 1000 words... (I try to translate the German words. Maybe the things are called differently in English, though) When you choose the album view of a directory, something like screenshot 1 is shown. When you click on a picture, something like screenshot 2 is shown: The clicked picture in big, and the other pictures of this directory in small. You can change the big picture by pressing the left or right key, then the previous or next picture of the small ones is shown. When you press Shift-Left/Right here, nothing happens. Only when you click just above a small picture, Shift-Left/Right has an effect (screenshot 3). Perhaps the following phenomenon has the same reason: When I am in the editor and want to increase/decrease the size of the displayed picture with Ctl-+ or Ctl--, nothing happens also.
Screenshot 1: Do not click in the thumbnail image to select an image, most of the space is below the image. What you have in screenshot 2 is already the preview and the thumbnailbar is not really meant to be selected. By your color scheme you also see badly the size of the thumbnail. Screenshot 1: Klick nicht in das Thumbnail Bild um ein Bild auzuwählen, der meiste Platz ist unterhalb des Bildes. Was Du im Screenshot 2 hast ist bereits die Vorschau und die Thumbnailbar ist nicht wirklich zum auswählen gedacht. Durch Dein Farbschema siehst Du auch schlecht die Größe des Thumbnails. Maik

Das Bild vergrößert anzuzeigen ist ja genau meine Absicht. Und man kann ja durchaus mehre Bilder durch die Thumbnails markieren, halt nur durch einen vorherigen Griff zur Maus und sorgfältiges Zielen, was einen sehr aus dem Arbeitsablauf ablenkt.
digiKam 7.0.0 stable release is now published and now available as FlatPak: https://www.digikam.org/news/2020-07-19-7.0.0_release_announcement/ We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
With this version it seems to work.
Thanks for the feedback
I just tried it again, and it did not work. Left/Right keys worked as expected, bit Shift-Left/Shift-Right did not and showed no effect.
Selecting with Shift-Left / Shift-Right works without problems here. Of course, you first have to click in the thumbnail bar so that it has the focus, first the image has the focus. I close the bug. Maik
I don't have the same opinion concerning the "of course": As I wrote, Left/Right keys work as expected, even if the thumbnail window does _not_ have the focus, while this is necessary for Shift-Left/Shift-Right.
Right / left is used to change the image, since you are in the preview. The thumbnail bar is used to select an image for preview, it does not intend to select multiple images, even if it is possible when the thumbbar is in focus. We cannot redirect all keyboard inputs to the thumbbar because the selection with shift key is in conflicts with facial tagging input. Maik
So, what is the preferred way to select multiple images? I like to use the preview for this, since I can see what I select, and I am using it anyway in this moment.
