Description nucleo 2025-03-15 16:14:56 UTC
SUMMARY
In digiKam 8.6.0 the size of the album list panel cannot be reduced as in 8.5.0 and previous versions.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Start digiKam 8.6.0 in Russian locale
2.  Try to reduce album list panel
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The panel size remains quite large, leaving little space for album previews in IconView and in Tabvew.

But in English locale size can be reduced

Collapse the widgets for quality search (Labels tab), auto tags (Tags tab), and face search (People tab). We've already shortened the text for the new widgets as much as possible.

Don't you care that text are too long in different locales?
Comment 3 Maik Qualmann 2025-03-15 18:40:34 UTC
Yes, we know that. Here in my German version, it's also significantly longer than the English original. We can try to give the translators a hint to translate it as briefly as possible.

We've currently decided not to use a scroll view because the resulting scroll bars make it difficult to navigate.

As mentioned, collapsing widgets when not needed saves space.

So this bug can be considered fixed after shortening the translated text.
