[Bug 173061] New: Better way to sort out pictures

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173061

           Summary: Better way to sort out pictures
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

I attached two pictures. Currently, my workflow looks like this:

(1) Take picuture
(2) Upload them to Windows
(3) Use ZoomBrowser (Canon (tm)) to sort fotos out. That means: Take 100
pictures, throw 85 away
(4) Copy them to Digikam to tag and geotag them

Attached are two pictures which show one reason why I am using ZoomBrowser.
This very simple comparison-mode really rocks.

What's wrong with LightTable?

The only really different thing I see in your pictures is "quad" mode.

Nothing is wrong with the Light Table, it is a good tool indeed. This wish is
probably not clear enough from only looking at the pictures. I will try to make
a screencast to show you what ZoomBrowser does better.

Short-version:

(a) You can view 1, 2 (horizontal), 2 (vertical), 3 or 4 pictures at a time

(b) The metadata is "better integrated" in the UI. The feature is already in
LightTable, I just think that it could be improved. I am talking about this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/2606804522/

(c) You can see the autofokus-fields of the camera (well, if you used a dSLR,
of course).

Lets see if I can make a small video of the tool or at least show you two more
screenshots.

The blue circles show the feature "Display Autofocus Fields". The red shows how
ZoomBrowser displays the metainformation

The red circle highlights a button. If you click on that button you would get a
new window which shows the TIFF picuture.

The three fotos you see are all RAW-Pictures (cr2) which is why ZoomBrowser
offers this feature (wouldn't make sense for JPEGs I guess).

Andi,

About to display meta info as transpaent widget, Qt4 will simplify life. This
feature is require too with Slideshow tool. Some code can be backported from
Gwenview or KPhotoAlbum. We need definitivly a common widget here. Of course
this can be delayed later 0.10.0

About camera device focus area, it's the hell. This information cannot be
extracted from makernotes, and of course each camera maker implement a private
structure to host these informations. There is already a file in B.K.O about
this feature. Exiv2 and libkexiv2 need to be improved here to extract properlly
these informations in a common way.

Not sure about more than 2 images at the same time. Currently LT is tailored
for 2 images with panels on both sides giving access to all metadata. Adjusting
it to 3 or 4 images would require to rethink *whole* LT interface.

I wholeheartedly agree that showing more data in interface without hovering
with mouse is good idea. Some additional status bar to show this info? I am not
fan of translucent panel because this will obscure image itself.

Gilles,

yes, this should be delayed for the next version.
Right now we still have many crashes, especially when importing images (I count
6 reports on that topic at the moment), so those should really be fixed first
before the final 0.10 release.
For the next version we also might want to add more animation to fit KDE4
look&feel (for example the thumbbar in imageviewer could scroll a bit
smoother)...

I'm totally agree. More than 2 images at the same time will break all codes.
