STEPS I use The Geolocation Editor and my photos have no geodata. So I search an address > click address > and when I try to move the red needle it is locked > so I rightclick > copy coordinates > insert coordinates > Apply > and then I can move the needle > Apply. That is a lot of clicks. 3 WISHES 1. It wold be very nice to move the needle right after the search result. 2. I dont always have a address. So it would also be very nice if I could just doubleclick the map and put a needle directly on it. 3. And sometimes when I move the turquoise needle, it jumps back. So I have to pull it again. And again. Windows: 10
Much simple, you can simply drag&drop the image(s) from the image list to the position in the map. Maik

This is a GREAT feature. This solves 1 and 2. It should be explained clearly somehow in the interface.
To point 3. I do not know exactly if we mean the same. Is the positioning dependent on the zoom level? After releasing, she can a little move to another location. It comes from the conversion of screen coordinates to geographic position. This no longer occurs at a higher zoom level because the calculated value becomes more accurate. Maik
Point 3: It happens at all zoom levels. But I found a pattern: Every time the cursor come 50-80 pix near the edge of the map, it jumps back. Very annoying. See recording at https://www.fedefotos.dk/downloads/19_recording.zip Point 1 and 2 - by the way: Dragging the photo and then the cursor is ok, but hard on the wrist and arm if you have many photos. A one-click or double-click is much more ergonomically. And more intuitive.
If you want to move around the fringes, the Google API will scroll the map, hence the demolition. I have to see if I can prevent it. Maik
Hi, Can you check if this problem still exist with last weekly bundle build of digiKam 7.0.0 available here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
It is solved. Thanks a lot! Thanks for the notice. The program has a ton of functionality. But it has 5-6-7 issues with user friendliness. One example: As a default, it needs to have this box selected: Settings > Settings again > Metadata > Geolocation information (GPS).
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the option to write geo metadata is new and, like all others, is deactivated by default. Maik
I would love if this can be implemented. It is possible to right click on a found position (needle in the search result) and choose "Move selected images to this position". It would be much more intuitive to just drag and drop the needle to an image ... And yes I can drag the image to the map (it took me hours to realize this, I always tried to pull the needle from the map to the picture ...), but if I drag 10 pictures by this way I might have 10 different positions (as it is never possible to get the same position by this).
You can select more than one image in the list and drop it onto the position by Drag&Drop, all get the same coordinates. Maik
Thanks for the hint, Maik. I know this and I have my techniques to work well with geolocation. I just wanted to vote for the suggestion and say that I had my problems when I first started using it and that it might be a more intuitive way (for new users). At this point I want to thank you all for your great work. It is by far the best photo tool which I have used. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! :-)
