[Bug 218817] New: Allow different sizes for album and tag icons

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218817

           Summary: Allow different sizes for album and tag icons
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.0.0-rc1 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The sizes of the icons and fonts in the album tree and the tag tree are set
by the same options. However, I have five times more tags than I have albums
and the tag tree is shown in a smaller panel on the screen (when setting tags).
I want to be able to see more tags at once (e.g., all the tags for the members
of my extended family when tagging photos from a family occasion), but still
have recognisable album images (to make things pretty).

The tag icons are shown within another icon representing a "tag" and my
selected
tag images are cropped to fit, that makes them harder to recognise. They need
to
be made much bigger to be useful, but then too few tags fit on the screen at
once.

I would like there to be options to:

 a) Get rid of the "tag" icon that encloses the image I select for a tag.
    Perhaps use a tiny tag icon overlaid on a corner of the selected image
    icon to avoid confusing tags with albums. Stop cropping my selected
    tag image. (The default icon for a tag at present is the same "tag"
    icon, so I get two of the same icon, one nested in the other, just
    wasting precious space.)

 b) Set the icon size and font of the tag tree views separately from the
    icon size and font of the album tree view.

 c) I could make all the album and tag images smaller if they images were
    "zoomed" automatically when the mouse rolls over an album or tag item.
    Then I would not be bothered as much by b).

I've since noticed that the saved searches also use the same
icon and font size settings. I don't think it makes sense to
for the icon size to apply where photos cannot be used for
icons. The only reason I would make the icons bigger would be
if they were photos that I wanted to be able to recognise. As
the search list just shows a binoculars icon, I would never
want to make it any bigger, as it just means that I can see
less saved searches for no benefit at all.

Hum.

Tags and albums folder view share the same model implementation to factoring
and simplify code.

If we start to separate GUI options for both, we will increase complexity of
application and GUI HFE will be weird.

So, i vote for no to this file...
