[Bug 219198] New: Support for second screen

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219198

           Summary: Support for second screen
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

In the moment my second screen is useless with digikam. It would be a great
improvement, if it would be possible to use a second screen.

I could imaging the following simple solution: There is an option in the
preferences where i can set that the picture view opens in a _new_ window. This
i can place on the second screen and on the first screen i have the thumbnails.

Definitively... no. To support more than one screen, this is delegate to
windows manager, not digiKam...

Please move this entry to the right place on bugzilla...

?? No, this has nothing to do with window manager... It supports allready more
than one screen. It is only a thing of digicam to support working with two
windows. Digicam has nothing to do with the second screen, because if it
supports a second window for picture view i can drag it to the second screen
which is supported by my window manager.

So perhaps i have to give an other title if someone gets confused because i
talked about screens: "Support for second window"

Yes that would nice to be able to "detach" the preview from main digikam window
for people with several screens.

Okular as support for choosing in which screen presentations should be
displayed.
Maybe code could be reused.

I think there is no need to choose a screen... to open the images in a second
window is enough. You can drag the window then on the screen you want it to
stay.

But i found now that there is a workaround for this issue. For me this is
enough:

In the settings it is possible to set: "Action when choosing a picture preview"
- "Open picture editor" (perhaps it is named a little different, i only
translated from german). The picture editor opens in a second screen and you
can also go through the pictures when you opened the preview this way.

Timmorn,

This entry still valid for you with digiKam 2.x serie. I use digiKam on dual
screen without any problem here...

Hi Gilles Caulier,

like I wrote in #5, it was already solved for me with the option "Action when
choosing a picture preview".

Thanks
