https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192425--- Comment #42 from DGardner <dkde gardnersworld org> 2010-02-01 15:31:00 ---
Using 1.0.0 yesterday, I tagged a bunch of images and was
doing lots of selections in the icon view. When selecting a
range of images to which to apply the same tag, I selected
the first image and then Shift-clicked the last image. However,
if that Shift-click was over the star-rating area, the images
were not selected; the first image remained selected and the
"current" image was set to the last image (or whatever that
outline highlight means).
The "star-rating area" seems to take up the whole width of the
little icon frame, even though the stars are only a small part
of that. Because none of the images were rated, I did not have
any visual cue to tell me exactly what area to avoid. Therefore,
nothing has really improved since I opened this case: it is still
a nuisance.
Add to that a whole load of accidental ratings because of the
issue with clicking to the right of the stars granting them
a 5 and crashes every ten minutes when applying tags and I
have to say I just gave up and got drunk. The only mitigating
factor was that no image had been rated, so it was easy to spot
when I was accidentally changing the ratings, often it is not
as easy to spot these slips or to fix them.
I've also changed my mind: if you add an option to turn off
ratings with the mouse (in Settings or via some toggle button
on the tool-bar), I'll take it gladly. The current system is
just too annoying and I find I really only rate things when
looking at them in full-screen mode anyway (the icons are too
small to make any judgements about the star-rating). I also
use the Ctrl+1-5 shortcut keys now instead of the mouse.
The new images have yet to be rated, but hopefully 1.1.0 will
mean that I won't have to keep starting digiKam over-and-over
after crashes if I change any more tags.
