preview view

SUMMARY
Thumbnails in icon and preview views are not HiDPI, while the rest of the UI including the preview images are correct.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download and install digikam 5.9.0 on macOS 10.14
2. Switch to icon or preview view
3. Adjust the thumbnails sizes such that they are smallest possible (to exclude the chance that graininess is due to 256x256 thumbnails showing up too huge)

OBSERVED RESULT
Thumbnails are not HiDPI

EXPECTED RESULT
Thumbnails are HiDPI

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
MacOS: 10.14.2
digikam downloaded from https://www.digikam.org/download/

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The same turning on "Use large thumbnail size for high screen resolution" and rebuilding all thumbnails and restart digikam.

Problem still reproducible with 6.0.0 beta3 ?

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

Take a care that 6.0.0 will change database schema. Make a backup before to run 6.0.0, else you will not able to re-use 5.8.0 with your database.

Gwenview has the same problem (bug 373178). We already have bug 371005 and bug 381128. The problem is not the HiDPI display, but a set scaling factor that enlarges all elements and also Widgets with graphics.

I didn't get any information about whether this is going to be fixed or not. As the HiDPI display are more affordable and this bug really affects the user's experience. KDE is a perfect desktop environment for me, but only this image viewer and management application(digikam) makes me to seek alternatives. Recently gwenview fixed the issue and I started to use it, but still lack of the DAM tools like digikam. 

Really hope the developers can take care of this in next release.

This bug happens on 6.1.0 on OpenSuse on a 4K monitor with KDE as well. The Light Table and Image Editor are affected as well.

Comment 12 Maik Qualmann 2019-05-05 14:42:09 UTC
I am now on this problem. To get sharp thumbnails, we need to provide double the size of thumbnail data on a 4K (device pixel ratio == 2) screen. This means that in HiDPI mode, the thumbnails in the database generally have a size of 512 pixels. If we activate the large thumbnails in digiKam we theoretically even need 1024 pixel thumbnails in the database.

Comment 13 caulier.gilles 2019-05-05 15:08:24 UTC
Maik,

How Gwenview deal with this problem, as it use (if i remember) Opendesktop thumbnail PNG storage in home directory, which is limited to 256x256.

Storing PGF image of 1024*1024 in thumb database is not really a problem. Wavelets compression will optimize data size, even if it will be larger than 512*512.

Note: Reload the view with F5 or rebuild the thumbnails with the Maintenance Tool must be performed.
