http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160591         
           Summary: Forward / Back (Previous / Next) Don't Work in View Mode
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: aronparsons gmail com


Version:           0.9.4-beta3 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-4.2.3
OS:                Linux

When in album mode and then double-clicking an image to see it in 'view mode', the previous/next (left/right) keyboard shortcuts don't work.  However, they do work if I right-click to bring up the context menu and then hit escape.

I figure this is a minor bug since it does work with a little interaction (the right-click and escape method).  I typically view my images like this: find the image I want to start at, double-click to make it larger and then left/right through the rest of them.

This has been present since around 0.9.2 I believe, but it's not major so I haven't taken the time to report it until now. I've tried resetting all the keyboard shortcuts to the default and even removing the configuration files in ~/.kde/share/{apps,config}.

Aron,

It's not reproducible here. I can use Left/Right to navigate between images in preview mode.

Note : you can use also PageUp/PageDown.

1/ Try to test with a fresh account to see if it's reproducible.
2/ Try to reset your ~/.kde/share/config/digikamrc file to rename it with .old extension and restart digiKam

I started with a fresh account and saw the same behavior.

PageUp/PageDown work immediately in preview mode as they should.  However, previous/next (shift+left, shift+right) do not unless I do the right-click trick.  

Are PageUp/PageDown mapped to the Back/Forward functions internally?  And if so, why are they not defined in 'Global Shortcuts' for Back/Forward whereas Shift+Left and Shift+Right are?  

Perhaps the 'Preview Panel' just needs to explicitly be given focus when a new image is presented since giving it focus (right-click method) seems to resolve the Back/Forward functionality? (just a guess, I haven't dived into the code!)

What about this bug? I can not reproduce it either. Should we close it?

It's still there in 0.9.4.  

Summary:
Double click a thumbnail to view a full size preview in the main frame.

I expect left/right arrow keys to work for previous/next image.  They do not work until I right-click to bring up the context menu on the image and then hit escape.  Once I do that (I guess to give it focus), the left/right arrow keys work as expected for previous/next image in the album.

Page down/page up work for previous/next image in the album all the time.

But PageUp / PageDown is the normal way to navigate. Why do you except it to be left / right arrow keys?
You can use left / right in icon view mode, but this is because int there you are also able to navigate up / down. It doesn't make much sense to use the icon view navigation keys in detail / fullscreen view.
For me this is no bug but (somehow) a feature request.

I initially reported this as a bug because I recall left/right worked for navigation in an earlier release (sorry, I can't recall at this time).

Is there a shortcut configuration meant to control back/forward (or previous/next, whichever the proper labels are)?  Page down and page up are not intuitive to use for navigation, whereas the left/right arrow keys are.  It goes in line with icons used for navigation as well (left and right arrow icons).

Created an attachment (id=26473)
 --> (http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=26473&action=view)
Add Left/Right for Image Preview Navigation Keys

This patch adds the functionality that this bug is about.  Perhaps it would be
better to add a configurable shortcut in 'Configure Shortcuts'?

About #6 "Page down and page up are not intuitive to use for navigation, whereas the left/right arrow keys are."
I don't agree. It's usual in most tools. Usually, arrows are used to pan inside an image or document (image size bigger than display size) and pageup/pagedown are used to move to the next image/document...

I also think that PageUp/PageDown is much more intuitive than left/right arrow keys. Almost every app I used before behaves like that, regardless of using a windows or a Unix GUI app.

Interesting.  Every photo application I've used (Embedded Image Viewer in Konqueror, iPhoto, Picasa, Windows Gallery) I use left/right for flipping between full-size previews.  I guess what feels natural to some is awkward for others. ;-)  I do agree that the arrows are used for panning when zoomed in, but that's something I rarely do these days with a high resolution monitor.

This bug can be closed at your discretion.  It's never been a major issue as I've gotten along fine since 0.9.2 without finding a solution.  I'll either add the patch in a Gentoo ebuild or just change my navigation habits.  

Thanks for feedback. :-)
