Switching to View mode with the mouse

[Dotan Cohen]

The wife uses the mouse to browse images. When she clicks on an image,
she expects that the program will switch from browse-mode to view-mode
(instead of seeing many thumbnails she will see one picture) like
every other picture-management program does. However, Digikam opens
the Edit window. In order to preserve the delecate wife-linux balance
in our household I must have Digikam switch to View mode like F3 does.
How can I configure this? We're using Digikam version 0.9.0.

Thanks in advance.

This option do not exist. One click will open digiKam image editor.

Nota : in View mode (F3), using the mouse wheel will change the current image
in preview

why not just give her a separate login with read only permissions?

The problem isn't that she will edit the pictures. The problem is that
Digikam responds with non-standard behaviour. Worse, there seems to
way to configure it for standard behaviour.

Yes, I'd 'vote for' a change that allows one to single click (or at
least single action) into viewing a picture.  For most people using a
picture gallery program the first thing you want to be able to do is
quickly view pictures.

I agree so I opened up an issue in the Digikam bug database. [1]
I urge all who would like the 'view' action to be default or to have it
configurable to vote for this issue.

Thanks, I was going to get around to that. I voted for it.

I was going to post about this myself so I will just add my support for  
this. I think there should be choice in the options to set the default  
single click action to either view or edit mode. I would much prefer to  
have view mode as default and then clickon the edit button there to open  
edit mode if I want it. I appreciate that others might prefer to have edit  
as default so an option to set it how the individual wants would be ideal.
