[Digikam-devel] Patch to move Camera GUI Settings into left sidebar...

[Gilles Caulier-2]

Hi all,

Here we are a patch to move camera settings to a left sidebar. This way reduce
dialog side when 'Advanced' button is actived (try to use a advanced options
area with a small screen dimension for example : 800*600).

This way polish gui too using sidebar at all. This is just a gui patch,
nothing is changed about options rules.

http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/misc.tarballs/imgpluginssb.patch

To apply the patch, just go into digikam/utilities/cameragui, copy the file
into and start patch -p0 < imgpluginssb.patch. Recompile and install
digikam...

Let's me hear your comments.

A nice week end

The patch have been updated at the same place. If you have tested the previous
one, forget it (:=)))

The code is very optimized now, especially about layout, widgets place and
size, and empty space between widget.

The dialog use KDialogBase now, and this way simplify very well the
implementation (i don't know why Renchi have used QDialog before and trying
to reproduce KDialogBase layout like this).

Please give me a feedback. Thanks in advance...

you talk about 800x600 but your screenshot is 1024x721 ;-)

but I like this, it's more consistant with the others parts of digiKam

I'm talking about 800x600 with the old implementation, not the patch. But the
problem is the same in 1024x768 but the old implementation.

Yes, i think too. It's more polished. Perhaps the question in suspend is to
let the setting on the left or move it to the right behind metadata tab.

picasa put its settings on the left
You place metadata on right in camera gui, and also in album with => ok
You place settings of plugins on right and settings of camera on left => wrong
Tab left in album view modifies the content of main frame as settings in
plugins modify the preview.
So for consistency I would suggest to put settings of plugins on left
and keep right tab for meta data only

So if one day plugins will stay on IE frame as Picasa does it's will look like
more picasa

My 2 cents contribution :-)
