Possibility to "undo" in Album view?

Daniel Bauer-2
Good morning everybody,

Is there a possibility to undo an action (like e.g. rating a selection
of images) in Album view?

If so, how?
If not, is this something desirable for other people, too, and should I
file a wish? Or is this something that would be too complicated to realize?

Let me know :-)

Daniel

(sample, why I would love to have such a feature:

- From a photo session I select images giving them stars
- then I filter to see only those with one star
- I select them all to copy them to somewhere else,

- BUT, for stupid accident, I click on the star, and - wham! - all my
1-star-rated photos are unrated

It is my fault, of course, that I have to start the rating again from
scratch, but it would be fantastic if digikam could help such awkward
users like me and just undo that action, in this case, undo the
mass-rating and restore the rating I had before...

As there are so many possible actions in album view, up to
copying/moving images to other folders and the like, I have no idea if
it is somehow possible to have an undo-function here, but if: wow, that
would be fantastic :-)

Same happened here right now.
(Wanted to change one rating... in stead I changed a few hundred... and I
need to go through thousands of pictures again... :-( )

I don't see any solution yet.
Or am I overlooking something?

The problem to implement Album history is to trace all changes in File system and database. The last point is very tedious and can be critical, as database corruption can be introduced while moving in history, especially due to bugs.

So implementing this king of feature require a very good skill. I'm not sure that we can assign this task to a student.
