Batch Queue Manager: Save modified images the way image editor does

[NeiNei]

Hi there,

I built a batch process in Batch Queue Manager to apply some color
operations on the original jpg images. The modified pictures of tis
process are saved as [file]_1.jpg . In album view I see now side by side
two images:
-image_a.jpg (original)
-image_a_v1.jpg (modified by batch queue process)
Obviously, doubling the number of images bloats the album view.

However, I expect here the same outcome as I would do the same color
operations in image editor. That is a stacked view where I only see the
current image (image_a_v1.jpg) and the original image is "hidden".
How could I achieve this behavior in Batch Queue Manager?



Thanks for a hint in advance,
NeiNei

Hi there,
perhaps my issue was not that clear in my original posting. So I try it
again with different word.

When I process an image in image editor in digiKam 4.1.4 and I save it
then I see only the modified version in album view. The original image
is "hidden" below the modified version.

When I built a batch process with the same image operations in Batch
Queue Manager the resulting modified image is not on top of the original
image in album view but besides of it. Therefore the result is two
visible images in album view instead of the expected one (modified) image.

How could I achieve the behavior as seen in the image editor in Batch
Queue Manager?

Thanks for a hint,
NeiNei

Hi,

The BQM use same settings than editor when versionning options are enabled. This must give the same result on album icon view when image are processed.

Can you run digiKam on a console and list debug statements for both operations (editor and BQM), when you process one image in same album ?

Dear  Gilles,

thanks for the hint.

I did as you suggested in digiKam 4.14:

A. The situation in image editor (20161012_132602.JPG is original image):
~$ digikam
digikam(2674)/digikam (core)
Digikam::ImageInfo::fromLocationAlbumAndName: No itemShortInfo could be
retrieved from the database for image "20161012_132602_v1.JPG"
digikam(2674)/digikam (core)
Digikam::ImageInfo::fromLocationAlbumAndName: No itemShortInfo could be
retrieved from the database for image "20161012_132602_v1.JPG"

B. The sitaution in BQM (20161012_132602.JPG is original image):
~$ digikam
digikam(3625)/digikam (core): Cannot find an album for  KUrl("")
digikam(3625)/digikam (core): Cannot find an album for  KUrl("")
digikam(3625)/digikam (core): Cannot find an album for  KUrl("")
digikam(3625)/digikam (core)
Digikam::ImageInfo::fromLocationAlbumAndName: No itemShortInfo could be
retrieved from the database for image "20161012_132602_1.JPG"

I hope this helps a bit to analyze the situation.

Thanks,

Not at all.

In fact you use DK 4.14. New stable is 5.3.0. Use Linux AppImage bundle to test with this kind of behavior and forget older versions. A lots of changes have been performed in all implementations. Also 4.x serie is closed about changes, fixes, and improvements.

Dear Gilles,

Sorry, I hope my next try yields some hints for analyzing.
As you suggested I work now with DK 5.3.0 in Appimage Linux 64bit.
