A few questions from a newbie ...
Locked
 
|
I've been trying to find my way around Digikam (version provided by
Ubuntu) for the past few days, and have a couple of questions: 1) I have no mouse and always use a tablet on my computer; with no scrolling wheel, I don't know how to zoom in/out in order to use the geolocation capabilities. I tried to access the marble project site at http://www.edu.kde.org/marble/ but it seems to be unavailable, so I'd welcome any advice on the matter. 2) I began to play with the rating system, but once I've rated a picture, I cannot set it back to 0-star! Is there a trick I should know? 3) Regarding the sorting options (by date, name, etc.) I didn't see any choice between ascending/descending order; am I missing something? Thanks for helping. -- Blog, trucs et astuces, photos, aquarelles, etc. accédez à toutes mes publications à partir de ma page d'accueil : http://www.marie-noelle-augendre.com _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Hi Marie
I can help you with your second question. To erase the rating (set it to zero), what I do is first set it to one, and then do a click over the marked star (blue star in my case) to erase it.

Are you talking about the "Map Searches" tab on the left and the "Geolocation" tab on the right? There should be zoom in/out buttons below the map there, looking like a magnifying glass with "+" and "-" in them. > 2) I began to play with the rating system, but once I've rated a > picture, I cannot set it back to 0-star!

Hm, I don't know either ... Hope that helps, Michael _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Below the map, there is only a kind of scale (0 km - 6600 or 4400), but no magnifying glass nor plus/minus sign ... > Set the rating to 1 star, and then click the star again -> all stars > should be blank. Or right-click->"Assign rating"->"None" Not so intuitive ... especially as it works with the right-click on the keyboard, and not with the right-click button of my tablet stylus! But it worked. >> 3) Regarding the sorting options (by date, name, etc.) I didn't see >> any choice between ascending/descending order; am I missing something? > > Hm, I don't know either ... > So, how can I display the more recent photographs of an album at the beginning? Without the reverse order, I have to scroll all the way down to the end of the album. -- Blog, trucs et astuces, photos, aquarelles, etc. accédez à toutes mes publications à partir de ma page d'accueil : http://www.marie-noelle-augendre.com _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Just make sure the focus is on the Marble widget (left click it once to be sure). Wow, 4 ways to change the zoom...

Do you expect to release the new version quite soon? (hope the question is not unappropriate, I'm not well aware of the GNU/Linux world usages).

Guess I'd better to wait for the new release. The photographs will
have to wait for a few weeks; in the mean time, I'll try to work a bit more with Ubuntu/Gimp/reflex camera (brand new, too), there is a lot to learn besides Digikam ;) Till then.

Very good: that's the solution I'll remember, especially as it works
from 0 to 5. Thanks a lot.
