[Digikam-devel] What about a lighttable

[Oliver Dörr]

Hi.

i have sometimes similar pictures and try to find the best of  them. A
"lighttable" would be very handsome for this job. I think of the
following workflow...
1. Open the Lighttable as a small window (perhaps a sidebar)
2. Use drag and drop to put the photos in there (normally 3, 4, 5 or so)
3. Resize the Lighttable to full screen -> the thumbs of all pictures in
there will be increased to a size that they all fit in the lighttable
4. I select some of the pictures using the mouse for a closer look and
use the wheel on the mouse to increase their size -> this leeds to a
smaller size for the pictures that i did'nt have selected (would be
really cool, if the unselected pictures move to the border of the window
while the selected windows move to the center).

This function would make it much easier to compare pictures manually to
find the one that i like best.

What Do You think of it ?
Oliver

Hi Oliver. How are you (:=)))...

I think there is already a file in B.K.O about this subject... Take a look.

Else, why not using a Tags  folder for that. Just tags the image that you want
to compare, go to this tags folder and press F3 (with 0.9.0-beta2 release of
course). Reduce sidebar to have a max image size on the screen.

Now change the current image using the mouse wheel. and select the right image
to remove.

Hi Gilles,

i'm fine and you. Hope you family is well ;-)

Could be, I even don't know where to look at it...

Else, why not using a Tags  folder for that. Just tags the image that you want 
to compare, go to this tags folder and press F3 (with 0.9.0-beta2 release of 
course). Reduce sidebar to have a max image size on the screen.

to remove.
  

I've just tested it and it will work, but it is not very handy. Tagging images with digikam could be improved, but the main point is, that it is not very intuitive to select two of the pictures and make them a bit larger for a closer look...

Oliver
