[Bug 264998] New: clicking on a day/week/month/year in timeline does not display any photos

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264998

           Summary: clicking on a day/week/month/year in timeline does not
                    display any photos
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Time Line
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.5.5)
OS:                Linux

When I click on a blue bar representing a day/week/month/year in the timeline
sidebar on the left, even though it correctly updates the number of matching
photos shown under the Logarithm icon, it does not display any photos in the
main window, and the status bar at the bottom always says "No item selected (0
items)".

In contrast, the Calendar sidebar works perfectly.

Reproducible: Always




Latest 2.x from SVN running on openSUSE 11.3.

Can reproduce here, too.  Clicking the capital letter under a blue bar - rather
than the bar itself - does work, if you want to try that.

So it does!  I hadn't noticed that, thanks.

Definitely not close it - it's a serious usability bug which will render that
sidebar useless for most people, since the workaround is far from obvious.

This is why i implemented this behavior :

Selection of date must be done on the bottom area, highlight by the blinking
rectangle.

The rest of vertical bar is a cursor dedicated to show the count of item
printed on the widget corner.

I see a similar behavior with F-Spot and KPhotoAlbum, few year ago... Perhaps
this have been changed now...

Hi Gilles, thanks for the reply!  Is there any good reason NOT to make the
vertical bar clickable?  The rectangle at the bottom is very tiny, so it is (a)
difficult to click and (b) not at all obvious that this is the only place to
click.  So currently most users will not be able to use this sidebar at all ...

I was just about to report it as a bug, so it is clearly not obvious tow to use
this function.

I will compile 2.4 and re-test when I get time, but that may not be for a few
weeks so it would be quicker to test yourself, sorry.

It is still a valid problem. I have the same usability problem. Since the whole
vertical bar is highlighted when clicked on, all photos for time period should
be visible immediately without having to click on the the little box below the
bar. I don't think it is obvious that the blinking box much be clicked on.
