Mik,

Well, I think the problem is not with "My Dates Search" title.

In fact, title of date sidebar tab is wrong : "Dates". it must be "Calendar".

Timeline is a search tool witch operate on items time stamp from whole collection.

Dates is a tool to make a calendar view with your whole collection. This is not a search tool as well.

Marcel,

KDE4 port still todo before to close this file. I will backport all Time-Line widgets to KDE4 as well.
What about the new digiKam Search framework for KDE4 ?

Gilles: great work!

I also stumbled on the selection (I even thought that some connnection
wasn't set up correctly in my compilation ...;-)
Wouldn't it make sense to make the currently selected rectangle also
the selected one?

Another minor point: maybe CTRL mouse wheel could be used to
zoom in/out of  minute/hour/day/week/month/year/decade ?
(Note: minute/hour/decade do not (yet) exist ;-)

Or to use the timeline cursor as well to make selection, for ex. to using CTRL key with it.

Note : I have reproduce the same behaviour than KPhotoAlbum, like you have recommend previously in this room... I see than KPhotoAlbum TimeLine usability is not perfect (:=)))

>Another minor point: maybe CTRL mouse wheel could be used to

Why not...

>(Note: minute/hour/decade do not (yet) exist ;-)

Because it require few changes in Search KIOSlave to query DB and in TimeLine widget to draw these new decade. I would to test indeep the current implementation as well before to do it.

There exists a small bug. When you select week as time unit you have the column "Week #52 - December 2007". The next column is "Week #1 - December 2007" and it shows the pictures from 1st week of january 2007! The next column "Week #2 - January 2008" shows the correct pictures from 2nd week of january 2008. I have no pictures from 1st week of january 2008 if this could be interesting.

While it would be probably fun to see it I doubt it has real uses.
Better polish what exists now :)

To Klaus, #22 : Problem fixed in svn with commit #762641. Please checkout and try again. Thanks in advance

To Mik, #23 :

Technically, it's possible to support "Hours" and "Minutes" decade. For me, it's not a priority and i would delay to implement this feature...

But like KPhotoAlbum support these decades, i suspect than, "Hours" and "Minutes" decades can be suitable in specifics cases.

"Seconds" decade is a non-sense for me (:=)))

I will wait and see users feedback.

It is still not working correctly with SVN checkout from this morning. "Week #52 - December 2007", the next is "Week #1 - December 2007" and showing pictures from january 2007, then is "Week #2 - January 2008". When I select that column, it indicates me that there should be 3 pictures which is also correct, but I cannot display them and even can not select the number at the buttom of this bar that you need to select to view pictures.

Sorry to annoy you again with this, but it is still not working correctly. I maybe found out something interesting for you. The problem with 1st week 2008 still exists, but not for 1st week 2007 or 1st week 2006! When I select 1st week 2008 there is also no outline on the column, but the outline is drawn at 1st week 2007 and therefore also showing the wrong pictures. When I select 1st week 2006 or 2007 it is working correctly. The only difference I can see is that I have no pictures from 1st week 2008. Does this make sense?

A minor wishlist for the timeline:
I had a hard time getting this to work initially until I read the blog describing the feature.  What had me confused was the large cursor and relatively small selection areas and the different functionality of each (ie. selection allows multiple and cursor is just one). In my view the selection boxes are most important.  Would it be possible to make the selection area more obvious and/or larger for those that don't read manuals?  My first inclination was to click on the cursor area to do the selection.

Overall thank you for the timeline, it is a great addition to digikam.

Geoff

To all,

This file is now closed. To report new wish about time line, there is a new digiKam/timeline bugzilla component. Please file a new report in this room.

KDE4 port is done as well and not yet suitable because Searches KIO slave is broken. Marcel need to port code to a new XML framework dedicaced to process searches on new digiKam database schema. Work in progress...

Hi all, I've been testing this tool with no luck. At the earlier development, it worked for some time, but since the latest changes it stop working. I'm compiling from svn. The thing is that I open the left side bar, I can see perfectly the time line for my pictures, with the green bars and the number of pictures, then I click on a bar, it gets selected, but nothing else happens, the panel where the thumbnails should be displayed is empty, blank. At the past I could see there the corresponding images. I don't know what happened. Maybe a db problem? I've tried to run the application from the command line to see if any strange error is thrown, but no, it seems normal. Any ideas?

Uhmm, please, forget my last comment, I've just found what happened. It was my mistake. Looking at the picture that Gilles attached I found that I have to click at the bottom of the time axis to select the photos. At the past it worked with the full green bar. I didn't notice that change.

It's a great enhancement Gilles, congratulations.

Hi,
First test for me for the new timeline feature...
Cool :)
Some remarks:
* like some people here, I don't think the behavior of the big cursor vs small selection cursor is intuitive. It would be great, if possible to display a help text in the right panel when there's no selection...

* the number of items is alone at the right without any description. Maybe you can add "number of items: "

* I think it would be better to display the date in reverse order, eg :
2007 May 09, Wednesday

* when in week view, it would be great to also add dates (eg 18-24)

* finally, the most important point, it would be great to be able to use the keyboard (eg. right/left arrows to move the cursor, space for selection)

Anyway, great job !
