[Bug 271315] New: GUI improvement for manual geotagging

Milan Knizek
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271315

           Summary: GUI improvement for manual geotagging
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Geolocation
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.6.2)
OS:                Linux

A workflow for geotagging images manually can be:
1. select images in album view, which were taken on (or showing) the same
location
2. open menu Image / Geolocation
3. go to Search tab and type in the location name
4. you get some possible locations/addresses as an answer

Now, the troubles come on the following steps:

Problem A: the map shows the returned addresses as "A", "B", ... marks.
However, there is no way how to easily zoom in on the map to e.g. the proposed
location "A". (Use of + button is very slow.)

Problem B: once you manually zoom in to see some more details about location
"A", you can choose another position (say few hundred meters away from the
marked location "A") by a left-click on the map, choose "copy coordinates" from
the second level of pop-up menu, then select images in the bottom part of the
window, right-click and choose "paste" from the pop-up menu. This is slow.


Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Possible solutions:

Problem A: double-click on location "A" from the returned addresses in the
search tab should automatically reload the map zoomed at the location (say 1:50
000?)

Problem B: when you long-click somewhere on the map, a new location mark (let's
call it "X") should appear. Then, you could drag & drop this location mark from
the map over to the images and the selected images should be assigned this GPS
coordinates. As default, all images listed in the geolocation plugin should be
preselected (when you have had selected the images in album view, then you
probably wanted to work with them).
Alternatively, a left-click on the map could have a new item in the pop-up menu
"Add GPS coordinates to selected images".

Hi Milan,

thanks for your comments!

Problem A: I will look into this. Does zooming with the mouse wheel not work
for you?

Problem B: Do you know that you can also drag-and-drop the selected images onto
the map? The problem with context menus is that I am not sure yet how to
properly implement them for the Google Maps backend, which is rendered by
KHTML. But you are right, the behavior of the old "Edit coordinates" dialog,
where you could simply click a point to assign the coordinates to the images is
missing. Maybe we can add a "Pick coordinates" button, where the next click
after the button on the map causes the clicked coordinates to be assigned to
the images. This would work without a context menu.

Michael

About the zooming: I don't know an easy way to determine a sane zoom level, as
it depends on what you are doing. If you search for a city which exists more
than once (Berlin, for example), you may first want to know which is the one in
the right country, then which is the right one in the country, and then since
many cities appear a few times in roughly the same location, which dot best
represents the city. So we are already at three different levels here, and I
think the same would be true for streets.

At least we should make it possible to select several search results, and have
the map adjust the viewport such that the selected search results cover the
map. When only one result is selected, leave the zoom unchanged but adjust the
center.

About easier zoom adjustment: Maybe create a slider as a drop-down for the zoom
buttons, much like the "Scale" float item in Google Maps, to quickly adjust the
zoom.
