digikam Album Thumbnails - Feature Request

SUMMARY
***
FEATURE REQUEST

When viewing Image Thumbnails in Album View, the brightly coloured 'Label' border around each image can be very distracting if several different Labels are used in an Album.

Would it be possible to provide a 'Label Intensity' option so the labels are less distracting when viewing image Thumbnails please, or perhaps remove the coloured border and replace with a coloured line as shown in the attached screenshots?

Thanks

I like the idea with a kind of line or a narrower representation of the color label. I've already experimented a little, there is no space for it under the file name or within the information lines in the thumbnail. We would have to reserve space that would unnecessarily enlarge the thumbnails. Let's see what else I can think of ...

Thanks Mark,
It will be great if you can come up with something to make those 
highlights less distracting.
Warm regards
Peter

Hi,

As Maik, i found your mock-up interesting and optimum.

Q : i remember to code this kind of solution in the pass because some users ask a good visibility/usability for this feature. If we switch to this kind of solution, i' sure to see report back in this room. So, do we need to set an option for that ?

Best

I find there are times when I want to see the color borders, other
times they are a distraction. So a simple fix that works for me is to
provide a configuration option to turn it on and off completely.

How useful this is to other users probably depends on what they use
color labels for.

I found coding this straightforward. Attempts to add a new way of
representing the color label were not so straightforward.

For completeness I also coded an option to control the pick label.

I'll attach before and after screenshots of the Configure->Views dialog.

I hope to send a merge request shortly for review.

Thanks,
David

Maik,

Perhaps the good compromise is to draw only the horizontal lines on to and bottom of thumbnails ?
