[Digikam-devel] thumbnailing (again)

Hi,

when using a big flashmemory or an image tank with hundreds of pictures
digikam (cvs-trunk) has problems to generate the thumbnails in the download
manager. Everytime I plug in the card/cam/image tank the download manager
creates the thumbnails from the first image to the last image. OTOH the
manager identifies the new images by showing a star-symbol

So, it seems to be useful
- to create the thumbnails of new images first,
- to create the thumbnails of the images that a part of the current view,
- to have a button to interrupt thumbnailing otherwise I can wait a really
long time until I can operate again in the downloadmanager. The second part
seems already realized in standard album view of digikam.

When using a 20GB image tank the download manager becomes unusable.

Oh and a small graphic bug: When clicking in the background of the download
area I get a 1x1 pixel selection. I think only dragging and not clicking
should span a selection area(?)

Bye

  Thorsten

Please look in B.K.O on Cameragui component if some reports already exist
about your problem. If yes, vote for it, if no please create new one.

http://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=digikam&component=Camera%20GUI&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED

Note : since digiKam 0.9.0-beta3 is out, no news features will be added to
digiKam until 0.9.0-final planed at Christmast.
