Finding geotagged images with the marble widget

Bugzilla from gandalf.lechner@univie.ac.at
Hi all,


I just tried how the marble widget works in the current digikam 0.10-svn and have some questions related to this. From other posts on this list I knew that in order to select part of the marble map, one has to use the mouse with the ctrl key pressed. But I got strange results:


In many cases, when selecting an area in the marble widget in the left sidebar which does not contain any coordiantes of geotagged images, many results where displayed in the album view. These were images with attached coordinates, but nowhere close to the region where I was looking. For example, looking in Brazil returned pictures located in Italy. When having the marble widget in the right sidebar open as well, this centered correctly on the location of the selected image.


A second issue is that I do not see any markers in the widget indicating the positions of the images in the current album.


I therefore wanted to ask the developers about the status of this part of digikam: Is it still under heavy development such that submitting bug reports does not make any sense right now? Or do others not find the behaviour I desribed?


Best,
Gandalf

First, it is important, that you use a very recent svn check-out
of marble, because a bug concerning the geo-search is fixed there.
I checked it for one region, and it worked fine,
but that does not mean that in other situations
(southern hemisphere, etc. etc. ;-), things are broken.

Please test with current marble svn and file any bugs
(which might be either due to digikam or marble).

Concerning a more advanced of display of locations of images:
we might be able to do a bit already now, but for
more fancy stuff we will need better kml support in marble.

Best, Arnd

I have svn version of both digiKam and kipi-plugins with Geolocation and
everything works perfectly. Note: I have only small number of images
geolocated and they are concentrated in Europe.

I thought about reversed values but it should "find" images in Western
Africa :)
