[Bug 234067] New: Annoying list of languages to select from when entering picture captions

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234067

           Summary: Annoying list of languages to select from when
                    entering picture captions
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.0.0 (using KDE 4.3.5)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hi,

when editing the metadata of a picture, i.e. opening the Caption/Tags dialog,
Description tab, there is a text field to enter Captions. It comes with a
little selector for choosing the language.

This selector offers dozens of languages to choose from.

If you want to enter multi language captions for each of a collection of
images, e.g. german and english, you always have to pick the languages from
that veeeery long list. Highly annoying and time wasting.

Would be better to select the languages to choose in the settings and then
offer separate text fields for each of them.

One quick and easy solution would be to automatically store recently used
languages and offer them at the top of the list.

reviewed patch for libkexiv2

Islam,

Look your patch reviewed, including bump of libkexiv2 version ID to prevent
broken digiKam compilation with old libkexiv2. This include too coding polish.
