Rating shortcuts

Michelle Knight
Hi Folks,

Apologies to trouble you. I thought I filed a bug list on this a while
ago, but I might not have.

I've been using Digikam for a while and, after recently switching from
Ubuntu to Xubuntu, I had to re-load Digikam.

The version that came down from the repositories is 4.7.3

I used to be able to go in to Settings -> Configure Shortcuts, and then
configure single keypresses to rate an image.

It was easy to rip through a days shooting in full screen, just pressing
page down, and then a single key press to rate it.

That option seems to have vanished from the shortcuts, so I've now got
to hold the CTRL as well as pressing a number (and 0 is on the opposite
side of the keyboard to 1-5) which is seriously slowing me up; and when
I'm talking of day shoots of hundreds of images, you can imagine how
much time I'm losing.

Can anyone help me out with this please?

Many thanks,

Michelle Knight

Do you know what version you were using in Ubuntu? Or at least which
version of Ubuntu you had installed?

No, that is the version of KDE, not Digikam. Please check Help->About
Digikam.

I am using Digiakm 1.9.0 and I can do this.

List is not complete, but it's a good start...

But Gilles, the question is whether, on recent versions of digikam, you
can reassign the ratings shortcuts to be a single keypress instead of
Ctrl+<1-5>, or not, as you could in the version used originally.

Thanks folks,

It's version 2.1.1, build 23rd September 2011.  I could do it in earlier
versions although I don't remember their version numbers.

Michelle.

No you cannot. Shortcuts are hardcoded...

Note this have been always like this. rating shortcuts have never been
configurable...

I have to beg to differ with you on this. I was able to define the
ratings shortcuts on earlier versions, and Andrew states that he can
currently do this on version 1.9.0

I sent Gilles a screenshot offlist and he is now going to look at the
source code.

Ok, i find a solution of this problem.

It's very simple. Look into this code :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/digikam/tags/tagsactionmngr.cpp#L190

The argument to this call is "false". Changing ths to "true" must fix
the problem. Can someone try it ?

Note : It's the same for Color label and Pick label shortcuts :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/digikam/tags/tagsactionmngr.cpp#L210
https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/digikam/tags/tagsactionmngr.cpp#L230

See also this entry in bugzilla :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275077

If someone can test my proposal, and check if all work fine, i can
patch source code for next release...

Thanks in advance

Gilles Caulier

Sorry Gilles, but I am not set up to build digikam at the moment.

Re: Rating shortcuts

Bugzilla from manew@gmx.de
In reply to this post by Andrew Goodbody
Hello, I found an rather ugly way how to rate pictures while pressing the
keys 1 to 5 only.

1. start digikam
2. Use Menu > Settings > "Define Shortcuts"
   to open Dialog for changing shortcuts
3. press Button "Details >>" at the bottom of the window
4. choose "schema export" in Dropdownfield "Further Actions"
   (button to the right)
5. choose a target directory
6. copy the file "digikam<SCHEMANAME>shortcuts.rc"
   from folder "<target diretory>/shortcuts/share/apps/digikam/"
   to
   ~/.kde/share/apps/digikam/digikammanewshortcuts.rc
7. stop digikam
8. open the file "~/.kde/share/apps/digikam/digikammanewshortcuts.rc"
   in an editor
9. add the following lines near the end of the file in front of the row
   "</ActionProperties>":

    <Action shortcut="0" name="rateshortcut-0"/>
    <Action shortcut="1" name="rateshortcut-1"/>
    <Action shortcut="2" name="rateshortcut-2"/>
    <Action shortcut="3" name="rateshortcut-3"/>
    <Action shortcut="4" name="rateshortcut-4"/>
    <Action shortcut="5" name="rateshortcut-5"/>

10. restart digikam
11. Use Menu > Settings > "Define Shortcuts" to open Dialog
    for changing shortcuts
12. press Button "Details >>" at the bottom of the window
13  choose the entry "manew" from the first dropdownlist
14. press "OK"

Now the rating should be possible by simply pressing the numbers 0 to 5

Unfortunately the steps 11 to 14 are required after each digikam restart to
enable the customized shortcuts.
Even if the customized entry "manew" is preselected in the dropdownlist,
it has to be selected again to become active!

Re: Rating shortcuts

e-mail robert.m.davies
I also noticed and mentioned this problem at some point, but was given the answer that the shortcuts had been hard coded so they would be the same as other programs.
Well fine, if you want to take choice away from your users.
It annoyed me at the time, but not enough to delve into the source code.

I sincerely hope someone does change this - I have got used to using Ctrl + numbers (on the keypad), but it involves some rather uncomfortable hand contortions, and would far prefer to go back to being able to use the numbers on their own.

Thanks,

Rob
