[Bug 229930] New: Erase photos with the mouse (not just a toolbar icon)

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229930

           Summary: Erase photos with the mouse (not just a toolbar icon)
           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 4.4.0)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

Digital camera habits mean that users take many redundant photos of subjects,
with the intention of deleting all but the best shot. However, there is
currently no "mouse gesture" to perform the common task of deleting. I suggest
middle-click (as web browsers use middle-click to close tabs) but other
suggestions are welcome!

Thanks.

An overlay (like the selection or rotate buttons in thumbnail view) would be
more discoverable. However, we'd need some configuration to limit the number of
overlays.

No, not another overlay!

The user should not have to manoeuvre around overlays to click the photo. The
mouse has an unused button that has precedent for deleting things in other
common software (web browser close tab).

For me the middle click means "paste" ;-)

As I agree with Gilles not have another overlay I found the middle mouse button
also not good. This button is often a combined scoll wheel/button. Image you
scroll/zoom your images with scroll wheel and accidentally click on the wheel.
Closing a tab does not matter that much than loosing you images.

That is a good point. What other action/gesture would you suggest?

What about a simple button in the upper toolbar? ;)

It is too far away, and too small a click target for such a common operation.

Right now Digikam has two modes: Viewing and Editing. It seems to me that there
actually needs to be a third mode, Organizing, which would have less emphasis
on things like zooming and panning but would have more emphasis on tagging,
deleting, grouping (see bug #121310), filing into albums, and making little
touchups like redeye removal. I'll take that idea over to the mailing list, as
it pertains to this issue but is much more general.

--- Comment #8 from Gilles Caulier <[hidden email]> ---
Middle click is very dangerous especially to delete file.

We will never implement a new icon-view overlay to delete file. I never seen
this feature in other desktop.

We have already keyboard shortcuts to complete file deletion : DEL and CTRL+DEL
