Big, very big previews

hi!
I would like to ask, before opening the feature request, if there could be the possibility to make the photo thumbnails bigger. When I talk bigger is bigger than the slider makes: something like 500x500px. This would be great to quick-pick lots of blurred of bad-exposed photos. See example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/2714743756/ I want this feature so much I would give a bounty for who makes it come true. I do not care if it is for 0.9.x or 0.10. cheers! -- Laziness, impatience, and hubris. -- Larry Wall in «Programming Perl» _______________________________________________ Digikam-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-devel |

Go to setup and turn on option to load full image instead reduced preview.

I am sorry, the only «load full image» option I found was in: Settings -> Configure digikam -> Ligh Table -> Load full size image Is there anyother? I am talking of having these big-previews here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/3083776081/ and to be able to move the slide (see note on the flickr page) to bigger sizes. cheers! -- Laziness, impatience, and hubris. -- Larry Wall in «Programming Perl» _______________________________________________ Digikam-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-devel |

On the bottom of this dialog, there is an option for preview mode (F3 with album gui)

No, for memory cache optimization, thumbs size is limited to 256x256.

I would like this: > http://bulma.net/~paurullan/stuff/digikam-mockup.png ((I just removed Gilles reply, so I am answering to this one)) While 256x256 is a good choice for cache reasons, there should be no principle difficulty to increase this to 512x512 (or even to 1024x1024 if the machine is fast enough). But (and that's a pretty big "but"): the thumnails are stored in ~/.thumbnails/large and the freedesktop thumbnail standard is 256x256 for this. So increasing this would break this. Moreover, this will lead to quite a bit of disk space usage in this directory... However, I do understand the wish! Maybe there is some other approach which could be done (eg. using the cached version first, but then display a refined variant internally? This is to some extent related to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146260)?

The biggest displays out there you can buy without selling your mother are 2560x1600. >But (and that's a pretty big "but"): the thumnails are stored in >~/.thumbnails/large and the freedesktop thumbnail standard >is 256x256 for this. Maybe we just should not say these are thumbnails. >Moreover, this will lead to quite a bit of disk space usage in this >directory... I do not think that anyobody who wants to seriously work with hundreds of pictures (as my workflow needs) minds about the disk space or memory. And obviously it can always put as a configurable setting. >However, I do understand the wish!

Has anybody an idea? > This is to some extent related to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146260 >? In some extend yes. But the idea is not context-switch and keep working in the album view. -- Laziness, impatience, and hubris. -- Larry Wall in «Programming Perl» _______________________________________________ Digikam-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-devel |

JPG of similar size are 10% of PNG weight. Even without breaking with .thumbnails standard it should be possible to increase thumbnails size in Album GUI to 384px without losing much due to quality of Qt zooming. Blowing up thumbs 200% is too much but 150% is handled OK. m. ps. The last traceable version of .thumbnails standard was released in September of 2004: from this time mean RAM size doubled at least and HDD capacity skyrocketed... _______________________________________________ Digikam-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-devel |
