[Digikam-devel] Digikam menu usability improvements

Hello,

I would like to implement some usability improvements for digiKam and friends.
I have started with some "low hanging fruit" and have attach two simple
patches for DigiKam Editor and ShowFoto to have View menu on more appropriate
location. See bug [1] for attached patches. I would like if one of the
developers would review them, then I can commit them into KDE svn.

I would also like to move "Full Screen Mode" to View menu (currently in
settings) in all three applications and rename the option in DigiKam
(currently named "Toggle Full Screen Mode" in Digikam). This would also make
it consistent with Konqueror which also has this in View menu.

Similar one would also be moving Slideshow to View menu - see [3]. I would
really like to here if there are any objections to change this.

Next, larger one is DigiKam menu structure, which I think is more complicated
than other apps (Editor, ShowFoto) and needs a bit more thought. See [4].

Regards,
Luka

That is an issue, which I also wanted to quickly solve during the weekend,
but it is a bit more difficult, then it sounds. All kipi plugins come with
a "KIPI::Category", by which the host application decides, where to place
them in the menu. Unfortunately there is nothing like a "view" category. So
one would have to extend that category list (which probably also needs
discussion in kde-imaging), and then enable digikam to use that category.

But I agree, that it should be done.

Fine also, but it sound like a KDE usability problem. Look like Konqueror have
this problem too (KDE 3.5.x)

It's hard coded in digiKam. This is the problem.

kipi-plugins do not use the standard KDE menu gui using rc file.
DigikamImagePlugins do it. It's not complicated to do it (and personally i'm
agree with this change) but it require to fix all kipi hosts too. It's not a
simple task.

There is already a file in B.K.O about this subject. If we fixing it, you can
move we we want the kipi-plugins menu entry without to change anything in
source code (XML-GUI files are used instead)

kipi-plugins 0.1.3 will be released by angelo at soon. After, we can discut
and work on this problem in kde-imaging ML.

Hum, not agree now. 0.9.1 need to be released before. After we can
break/improve the editor menu structure if you want.

I have take a look into some KDE applications :

- Kdevelop and Krita ==> "View/Full Screen Mode"
- Krita ==> "View/Full Screen Mode"
- Kaffeine ==> "View/Full Screen Mode"
- KdeTv ==>  "View/Full Screen Mode"
- gwenview ==> BOTH !!! ==> "View/Full Screen Mode" and "Settings/Full Screen
Mode" (bugs ? :=)))
- Konqueror ==> "Settings/Full Screen Mode" (usability problem ==> must be
reported in konqueror B.K.O area...)

There is no problem to move it from "Settings" to "View" in digiKam, Image
Editor and Showfoto.

Luka, feel free to fix it in svn...

True that - just went through that code yesterday for the first time.
We have another problem with Slideshow: Digikam uses KIPI, while ShowFoto and
Digikam Editor uses own implementation of SlideShow function. This just adds
to confusion. Not to mention that there is not much sense to have Slideshow
in Editor (which operates on individual photos and not folders/group of
photos) - I doubt that many people expect Slideshow in editor.

We probably need to dive into this after 0.9.1 release and decide if it makes
sense to make larger changes for 0.9.x releases or should we postpone them
for next major release.

Luka

I have commited this for Digikam editor and Showfoto together with View menu
change. I have also changed version in ui file as suggested by Achim on IRC.
I still need to finish Full screen in Digikam (probably tonight).

OK, will look into this a bit more and try to propose something for post
0.9.1/0.1.3.

Agreed - this may also impact l10n - should we care about this for minor
(0.9.x) releases?

This is strange: in Kubuntu (Feisty with KDE 3.5.6) it is in View -> Full
Screen Mode. Which distribution do you use and which KDE version?

Done for Editor and ShowFoto, Digikam will be commited today (need some more
code changes for proper toolbar handling).

The solution is very simple. We must using the way than DigikamImagePlugins
use to plug tools action in editor.

All kipi-plugins must be fixed (simple) and all kipi hosts too (more
complicated)

Luka,

There is also another point about menu in editor to improve : the
View/Histogram option...

This one have been added with digikam 0.7.x series by a contributor. With 0.7
and 0.8 series, there is no sidebar available. This is why the patch have
been accepted.

Since 0.9.0, the histogram is available in Color sidebar tab. I think than
View/Histogram option are now redondant. Also, the View/Histogram options are
uncomplete : you cannot change the scale for example...

Personnally, i would to remove this option from Image Editor and Showfoto. By
this way, the B.K.O file # 110514 can be closed (obsolete)

Of course, this must be done only if users are agree with this changes. It
always easy to remove code than to add (:=)))

The source code to fix is :

digikam/utilities/imageeditor/canvas/canvas.cpp
digikam/utilities/imageeditor/canvas/dimginterface.cpp
digikam/utilities/imageeditor/editor/editorwindow.cpp

I'm not sure if we can do it before 0.9.1.

Please give me your viewpoints. Thanks in advance

This doesn't only not have much sense, but adds confusion, see this bug:

  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140304

In there, I voted for removing the slideshow option from the Editor and
asked for thoughts of other developers. That would also remove yet another
configuration item from digikam settings :-)
And showfoto and digikam should use the same slideshow, preferably the kipi
plugins one (it is nicer in my opinion?), and hopefully in the View menu
soon ;)

What do the other developers say? Somebody must have added that digikam-own
slideshow to ShowFoto and Editor. What was the reasoning?

Frank, I was writing very similar conclusions into bug before reading
this. ;-)

Reasoning is probably historical (as always ;-)), it is more of the question
what is the right way for the future and how we can come there. I hope Gilles
and Marcel can provide some thoughts about this topic.

Since I started to use Digikam with 0.9, I newer even tried View->Histogram
(sidebar is just more natural location).

True. Implementation is limited and it is clear duplication.

I would also remove this. The only reason where View->Histogram might be
better is when user would like to use sidebar space for photo (for landscape
photos) - in such case on-photo histogram might be useful (but it will still
cover some portion of the photo). I use wide screen displays, therefore I may
not see this as too big issue - somebody with smaller display may have
stronger opinion about this.

This is not very strong point for not removing it - we have SVN and can bring
this code back anytime if this would be an issue for many users.

I am sure this can be done in couple of hours and I will try to make a patch
for this, then we can decide if I should commit or not.

Any other viewpoint?

In SVN version it is settings/full screen mode. Probably Kubuntu patched
this thing.

Frank, Luka,

This is the story of the Image Editor SlideShow :

I have added this feature with digiKam 0.8.0, especially for Showfoto. It have
been a wish from lot of users (not from B.K.O if i remember)

In showfoto, you can load the content of an folder. All image will be
previewed in Thumbar. If you start the slideshow, all pictures included in
thumbbar will be display in the screen.

This is fine and mandatory. If you remove this feature, i'm sure than you will
have a bug open in bugzilla.

Add kipi-plugins to showfoto is a non-sence. kipi-plugins are dedicaced to
photo management program, not editor. Also, added kipi support in showfoto
will descrease the startup to load kipi-plugins.

Another problems, depending especially of kipi Slideshow are listed below :

- This plugin use OpenGL : if opengl is not avaialble, the plugin is not
compiled (this is the case for ex. in my suse 10.1 computer witch not include
Glut API by default)
- This plugin do not support RAW file format. This point is very important for
photograph.

This is the resume of this B.K.O file :

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116518


Like the source code is now common betwen showfoto and digiKam image editor,
the Slideshow feature is also available for last one.

But i'm agree with out than the SlideShow feature need to be improved in the
future. This is my proposal :

- We don't need OpenGl to slide pictures. To show it a simple fullscreen
display is enought

- The Preview feature from digiKam core can be used like a SlideShow. Since
Marcel have added the cache stuff recently, it will be more suitable.

- The Preview feature support RAW file and IPTC preview generated by Image
Editor. It very fast. For example, load a TIFF or PNG 16 bits image generated
by editor to convert a camera RAW file. The file will be huge (here an MRW =
8Mb ==> PNG = 30Mb). If you preview this file the loading is very fast
because Editor store a preview JPEG file in IPTC Preview tag ! If you trying
to load the whole image, i will take a while to load. I have planed to
improve again this way to use JPEG2000 instead JPEG to have a better quality
of preview image.

To resume, i would to improve the Preview feature to provide Fullscreen
slideshow. There is a file in B.K.O about this subject :

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135655

The current source code from image editor core need to be re-writted :

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/graphics/digikam/utilities/imageeditor/tools/slideshow.cpp?rev=603261&view=auto

About the dupplicate feature between kipi SlideShow and Editor SlideShow, well
it can be solved to rename kipi Slideshow menu something like "Advanced
Slide" or "OpenGL Slide".

I think both tool are complement. Also if kipi-plugins slideshow is now
installed, if Preview Slideshow is not avaialble, There will no way to Slide
pictures... witch is not really great for a photomanagement program.

Try to use Gwenview and look the both tool already exist : there is a simple
slideshow in viewer, and the kipi-plugin Slideshow in Tool menu entry.

Gilles

As discussed with Gilles on IRC, I will work on the patch to remove
View->Histogram. Since 0.9.1 will be a bit later than it was anticipated,
this will probably get in before the 0.9.1 beta.

If you think this functionality is still needed, please speak up now and
explain the use cases for keeping feature.

Regards,
Luka

I'mpersonnaly agree to remove it to editor because it's redondant with sidebar
content.

Gerhard,

The View/Historgram options from Image Editor and Showfoto have been removed
from trunk. Can you fix handbooks ? Thanks in advance
