[Bug 172776] New: Usability: Combine Edit and Album menus, and other ideas...

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172776

           Summary: Usability: Combine Edit and Album menus, and other
                    ideas...
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           0.10.0-beta5 (rev.: 871127) (using 4.1.69 (KDE 4.1.69 (KDE
4.2 >= 20081009)), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-4-generic

Waaaaay too many menus in Digikam. My gf and I were aghast at the number.

Edit and Album seem to have the same function, or at least close enough. Edit
contains selections, what are you selecting? Things in  your album...

Import and Export should be on one menu: "Import/Export"
Might even want to put it on the File menu, like it is on most applications.

Batch can go on the tools menu. No need to have it separate.

And why do I have two Edit menus?

Edit is a standard menu entry. We cannot break menu design. Edit is dedicated
to items from Albums selection. More entries can be added in the future here.

Images is dedicated to host action for items from Albums, especially
kipi-plugins.

Album is dedicated to collection management.

>Import and Export should be on one menu: "Import/Export" Might even want to put >it on the File menu, like it is on most applications.

No. this have been the case before and separated for more usability (no
bloating menu). we don't want reproduce Gimp menus design here...

>Batch can go on the tools menu. No need to have it separate.

Same here.

> And why do I have two Edit menus?

There is only one Edit menu entry. Sound like a broken installation on your
computer.

Never seen that before, there must be an error with your installation.

Definitely error in installation.

Do you run 0.10 under KDE3?

If 'yes' you probably didn't initialized properly KDE4 environment variables.

If 'no' check ~/.kde4/share/apps/digikam directory and remove any *.rc files.
If it doesn't help do it the same in ~/.kde/share/apps/digikam directory.

Installed from vanilla svn, configured using the Build process on techbase as a new user, etc.

> Do you run 0.10 under KDE3?

Nope. New user, no pre-existing config data. Even wiped it out and started from scratch.

Like I said, no pre-existing config data. Still same two Edit menus...

Where is your KDE4 directory? Default files for me are in
~/kde/share/apps/digikam where $KDEDIR=~/kde

Try to rename digikamui.rc to digikamui.rc.orig and restart digikam.

Let me check...
/home/kde-devel/kde
Yep, the same.

The one here?
/home/kde-devel/kde/src/KDE/extragear/graphics/digikam/digikam/digikamui.rc

Done. No change.

I'm desperate: rename whole dir (quit digikam before - KDE apps are
often rewriting config files when quitting)? My ideas end here. I've had
similar problem in the past but it was easily fixed with
removing/renaming of those files.
