           Summary: Thumbnails not shown in find similar items tool so they
                    can't be used for drag and drop
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Fuzzy Searches
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: gandalf.lechner esi ac at


Version:           0.10-beta3 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24-17-generic

The find similar items tool is apparantly designed to work via drag and drop of a reference image. However, opening this tool in the left sidebar, the thumbnails are not shown any more, so there is nothing the user could drag and drop onto the tool.

You can drag an image onto the fuzzy searches sidebar and wait a while... it will open the sidebar and you can drop the image in there.
But there is a much faster way: While displaying / selecting an image, open the image menu and choose "Find Similar..."

I will close this report if you don't mind.

I agree that the search tool itself does work, and there are no problems using it via the menu. However, opening the side bar and looking at the tool, many users will think it's broken because there is no way to select a reference picture. In particular, the "drag and drop" info is misleading in this situation.

Ok I agree on that. We should just change the message I guess, it is the
easiest way.

Gilles,

what do you think?

To be more precise, there are two solutions right now I can think of:

1. change the message
2. display the current selected album (and, if selected, the included subtree) in the icon view when selecting "find similar", but only if the tool has been reset, otherwise show those images that match the chosen image.

Point 2 will maybe be easier to implement when we are using a new model-view-concept after the 0.10 release...

Solution 2 would be better in my opinion, since it would also allow to use the nice drag and drop feature.
